    Shirley Estate, Virginia 1650: Historic Architecture

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph of Shirley, located in Charles City County, Virginia, captures the essence of a historic estate built around 1650. Initially granted to Colonel Edward Hill in 1660, Shirleys ownership transitioned through marriage to the Carter family in 1723, where it remains today. The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, highlighting significant architectural landmarks across the region.

    The estate features meticulously designed gardens and trails that reflect the natural beauty of Virginias landscape. The photograph serves as a visual documentation of the sites historical significance and its architectural details, underscoring the rich heritage of colonial Virginia.

    This image, purchased from the estate of photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1953, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring legacy of Shirley. It is an essential piece for collectors and history enthusiasts interested in American architecture and heritage.
