    This vintage photograph captures a historic tavern located in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. Taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent photographer known for her documentation of early 20th-century architecture, the image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. The survey aimed to catalog significant architectural sites across the southern United States, with this tavern exemplifying the brickwork and design prevalent in the region during that era.

    The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the importance of taverns as social and commercial hubs in rural communities. Taverns served not only as inns for travelers but also as gathering places for locals, playing a crucial role in the development of community life in Dinwiddie County.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this image is preserved in the Library of Congress, reflecting the enduring legacy of Virginias architectural heritage. It stands as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of American inns and the evolution of regional architecture.
