    Shirley Plantation, Charles City, VA - Historic Photo 1650

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures the historic Shirley Plantation located in Charles City County, Virginia. Established around 1650, it showcases the architectural style and gardens of its time. In 1660, the plantation was granted to Colonel Edward Hill, a prominent member of the House of Burgesses. The property later passed through marriage to John Carter in 1723, remaining within the Carter family to this day.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, an important collection that documents the historical architecture of the region. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, emphasizes the significance of Shirley Plantation in American history and architecture.

    The Shirley Plantation is not only a key part of Virginias cultural heritage but also a testament to the evolution of Southern architecture and landscape design. Its gardens and structures provide insight into the agricultural and social practices of the era, making it a valuable piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
