    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this vintage photograph in Charles City County, Virginia, showcasing a historic structure known as Marlee. This building dates back to prior to 1776 and is notable for being the birthplace of President John Tyler. The image serves as a valuable representation of early American architecture, specifically wooden buildings that reflect the style and craftsmanship of the era.

    The Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which includes this photograph, aimed to document significant architectural landmarks in the region. This image is part of an extensive collection housed at the Library of Congress, offering insight into the architectural heritage of Virginia.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph not only captures a moment in time but also preserves the legacy of a prominent figure in American history. With its historical significance, this image is an essential addition for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
