    Historic Home in Surry, VA - 1730 Architecture Insights

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston showcases a historic structure located in Surry, Virginia, specifically in Prince George County. The building, dating back to approximately 1730, was constructed by Nathaniel Harrison II and has remained a significant residence for the Harrison family for over two centuries. The central block connecting the older wings is believed to have been designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1789, shortly after his return from France.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a notable collection aimed at documenting the architectural heritage of the Southern United States. The survey emphasizes both the historical significance and architectural details of this region. The photograph includes elements such as andirons and fireplaces, reflecting the interior design styles of the time.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph serves as an important artifact for those interested in Virginias rich history and architectural evolution. An accompanying reference print exists in the Library of Congress for further exploration of this structures historical context.
