    Historic Roanoke Architecture: 1800 Structures in Virginia

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a significant architectural scene in Roanoke, Virginia, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a noted photographer of the early 20th century. The image showcases structures dating back to around 1800, built by John Trout, featuring molded brick cornices that highlight the craftsmanship of the period.

    The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, an initiative aimed at documenting historic buildings and their architectural significance. The survey emphasizes the rich heritage of Virginias structures, offering insight into the craftsmanship and materials used during that era.

    This image, purchased from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, serves as a valuable historical resource. It provides a window into the architectural styles and building practices of early American settlers in Roanoke County, making it an essential piece for collectors and historians interested in the evolution of American architecture.
