Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this vintage photograph in Jamestown, Guilford County, North Carolina. Part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, this image highlights the intricate brickwork of a house enveloped in vines. The survey aimed to document the architectural heritage of the southern United States and serves as a valuable historical resource.

Johnston was renowned for her work in early 20th-century photography, and this image dates back to a period when the architectural styles were reflective of both local traditions and broader trends in American design. The detailed craftsmanship evident in the brickwork showcases the skill of builders during this era, while the vines suggest a connection to the natural environment.
