    Smithfield VA Architecture, Early 20th Century Photo

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures an architectural scene in Smithfield, Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The image showcases a residential structure featuring prominent design elements such as porches, chimneys, and dormers, reflective of the architectural styles prevalent in the Southern United States during the early 20th century.

    Johnston was a notable figure in documenting American architecture, and her work is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. This survey aimed to catalog significant buildings and structures, providing an invaluable resource for understanding regional architectural history. The photograph serves as a historical document, offering insights into the craftsmanship and aesthetic preferences of the era.

    This image, which was part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate and acquired in 1953, stands as a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Smithfield. It is preserved in the Library of Congress, emphasizing the importance of such documentation in the study of American history and architecture.
