    Petersburg VA Vintage Photo from Early 20th Century

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures a scene from Petersburg, Virginia, located in Dinwiddie County. The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which documents significant structures and landscapes in the region. The photograph features wooden buildings, typical of the architectural style prevalent in the early 20th century, along with surrounding fences that characterize the rural setting of the area.

    The Carnegie Survey aimed to provide a comprehensive record of the Souths architectural heritage, preserving the historical context of its structures. Johnstons work contributes to this goal, showcasing the craftsmanship and design elements of the time. This particular image is cataloged with the Carnegie Surveys negative number VA-1671, although no physical record of the negative exists in the Library of Congress.

    Acquired from the estate of Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1953, this photograph not only serves as a visual document of Petersburgs architectural history but also as an educational resource for understanding the cultural and historical landscape of Virginia in the early 20th century.
