    Jamestown, Virginia: 1643 Colonial Architecture Foundations

    $25.00

    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured a significant relic of early American architecture in this vintage photograph, showcasing the foundations of a grand structure built in 1643 by Sir William Berkeley in Jamestown, Virginia. Located in James City County, this site is notable for its historical importance as one of the few mansions of its time believed to be more splendid than others in Colonial America. Although only the foundations remain, the story imbued in this site reflects the aspirations and achievements of early settlers.

    The image emphasizes the brickwork and outbuildings associated with the original estate, providing insight into the architectural styles of the period. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a comprehensive project aimed at documenting significant structures across the southern United States.

    This historical photograph not only serves as a visual record of Virginias colonial past but also offers an educational glimpse into the architectural heritage of early America.
