    Historic Mansion in Claremont, VA - 1668 Architecture

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston captures a historic mansion located in Claremont, Surry County, Virginia. Built in 1668 by Arthur Allen, the estate is believed to be a replica of the royal residence in Claremont, England, which is notable as the birthplace of Queen Victoria. The mansion served as the home of the Allen family for many years, reflecting the architectural styles of the era.

    In 1882, the property was sold, marking the end of its long association with the Allen family. This image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, an important collection documenting significant architectural landmarks in the southern United States. The survey provides insights into the historical context and craftsmanship of structures from various periods.

    This photograph not only represents a unique piece of Virginias architectural heritage but also contributes to the broader narrative of American estate homes. It is an essential addition for collectors and history enthusiasts alike, showcasing the grandeur and history of the region.
