    Surry, VA Historic Harrison Dwelling Photo, 1730

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a historic dwelling in Surry, Virginia, located in Prince George County. The building, constructed around 1730, served as the residence of the Harrison family for nearly two centuries. Notably, the central block of the estate is believed to have been designed by Thomas Jefferson in 1789 upon his return from France, highlighting its architectural significance.

    The estate is a valuable example of colonial architecture, reflecting the design practices of its time. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at documenting the unique structures of the region.

    Johnston’s work captures not only the physical attributes of the estate but also its historical context, providing insight into the lives of the families who inhabited it. This image is a compelling addition for collectors and historians interested in early American architecture and the legacy of prominent families in Virginia.
