    Mathews County VA Historic Architecture Photo 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a dwelling in Mathews County, Virginia, showcasing architectural features characteristic of the region. The image highlights the use of clapboard siding and a gambrel roof, common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The prominent porch reflects the Southern tradition of outdoor living, integral to the lifestyle in this coastal area.

    Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer, was known for her extensive work documenting American architecture. This photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant collection aimed at preserving the architectural heritage of the region. The survey provides an invaluable resource for understanding the historical context and evolution of Southern homes.

    The photograph was acquired from Johnstons estate in 1953 and is held in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. This image not only serves as a visual record of Virginias architectural landscape but also contributes to the broader narrative of American domestic life.
