    Historic Residence in Surry, VA - 1730 Architecture

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston captures the architectural elegance of a historic residence located in Surry, Virginia, specifically in Prince George County. The building dates back to approximately 1730 and was originally constructed by Nathaniel Harrison II. It served as the home of the Harrison family for nearly two centuries. Notably, the central block, which connects the two older wings, is believed to have been designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1789 after his return from France.

    The image showcases intricate interior details, including chandeliers, seating furniture, fireplaces, and moldings, reflecting the craftsmanship of the period. This residence is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, highlighting its significance in American architectural history.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph is a valuable resource for understanding the historical context and design elements of early American homes. It serves as a testament to the rich architectural traditions of Virginia and the lasting legacy of the Harrison family.
