    New Roads, LA Vintage Architecture Photograph, 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston captures a scene from New Roads, Louisiana, specifically within Point Coupee Parish. The image showcases abandoned plank buildings, a testament to the architectural styles that once characterized this region. These structures, now relics of the past, offer insight into the local history and cultural landscape of Louisiana.

    Created as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, this photograph contributes to a broader understanding of Southern architecture during a transformative period. The survey aimed to document and preserve the unique architectural heritage of the South, and Johnstons work plays a crucial role in this effort.

    The photograph was purchased from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953 and is part of the collection held by the Library of Congress. This image not only serves as a visual record of New Roads but also as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Louisianas architectural development.
