    Nelson House in Yorktown, Virginia - Historic Snapshot 1940s

    $25.00

    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this vintage photograph of the historic Nelson House, located in Yorktown, Virginia, constructed between 1740 and 1741. This significant structure was built by William Nelson, whose son, Thomas, played a pivotal role in American history as a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, a general during the Revolutionary War, and a Governor of Virginia. The Nelson House stands as a testament to the colonial architecture of its time and the influential figures associated with it.

    Johnstons work is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document and preserve the architectural heritage of the region. The image not only highlights the historical significance of the Nelson House but also reflects the broader narrative of early American history, particularly in Virginia, a state rich in revolutionary heritage.

    The photograph, dated during the mid-20th century, provides a glimpse into the past, making it an ideal addition for collectors and history enthusiasts interested in American architectural history or the legacy of Virginias founding figures.
