    Historic Mechanicsville Building, Virginia 1720 Photo

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a historic building located in Mechanicsville, Hanover County, Virginia. Dating back to approximately 1720, the structure exemplifies the architectural style of its time, featuring a brick exterior laid in Flemish bond. Its unique gambrel roof is complemented by hipped dormers, adding character to its elegant design.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant collection aimed at documenting the architectural heritage of the region. Johnstons work is recognized for its detailed representation of Southern architecture, and this photograph serves as an important visual record of early American building techniques and styles.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph not only captures the essence of its historical context but also provides insight into the architectural evolution in Virginia. It stands as a valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of historical photography and architecture.
