    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures an architectural detail from a residence in Mobile County, Alabama, specifically in the Spring Hill vicinity. The two-story frame structure, with its double-decked front porch and pitched roof, dates back to 1840. The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which documents significant buildings and interiors across the region.

    The interior features notable elements such as stairways, light fixtures, and floor coverings that reflect the stylistic choices of the time. The photograph serves as a historical record, showcasing the craftsmanship and design aesthetics prevalent in 19th-century Southern architecture. It was taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent photographer known for her work in documenting American architecture.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this image is an important piece of Alabamas architectural history, providing insight into the cultural heritage of Mobile County. KNOWOLs historic images connect the rich stories and imagery of our past. A statement in any room, each is printed on museum-quality paper using a restored version of the original.
