    Nassawadox VA Architectural Landmark Photo 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston captures an important architectural landmark in Nassawadox, Northampton County, Virginia. The image features the entrance hall and stairway of a residence whose construction dates back to 1806-1808. This house is the evolution of the original Old Hall, built in 1691 by Thomas Brown, an important figure in the area whose family has maintained ownership through generations.

    The craftsmanship of the home is notable, showcasing hand-carved woodwork created by a master builder and apprentices who lived on-site until the houses completion. This photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project that documents significant structures and architectural styles in the southern United States.

    Johnstons work is a valuable contribution to the historical record, emphasizing the architectural heritage of Virginia. This image, dated 1953, is preserved in the Library of Congress and serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and historical significance of early American homes.
