    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a significant architectural element in Petersburg, Virginia, specifically in Dinwiddie County. While the exact date of the image is not provided, Johnstons work is known for its focus on the details of Southern architecture during the early 20th century.

    The image features intricate hand railings and doorways that exemplify the craftsmanship and design typical of the era. These architectural details contribute to the historical narrative of Petersburg, a city rich in Civil War history and Southern heritage. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project dedicated to documenting the architectural landscape of the region.

    Acquired from the estate of Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1953, this image is a valuable resource for understanding the aesthetic and cultural significance of Virginias architectural heritage. The photograph is preserved in the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of 19th and early 20th-century American architecture.
