    Old Hall, Nassawadox, VA: Historic Structure from 1691

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a significant structure located in Nassawadox, Northampton County, Virginia. The building, known as Old Hall, was originally constructed in 1691 by Thomas Brown, the father of Sarah Brown who married Arthur Upshur II. Over the years, the property has remained in the hands of the Upshur family. The current iteration of the house, built between 1806 and 1808, showcases master craftsmanship, featuring intricate hand-carved woodwork created by builders and apprentices who resided on-site during its construction.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at documenting the region’s architectural heritage. This particular photograph was taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a notable American photographer. The structure stands as a testament to Virginias historical architecture and the legacy of the families who have inhabited it.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph provides a glimpse into the architectural history of Virginia, particularly reflecting the craftsmanship and familial ties that have shaped this historic site.
