    Wakefield Structure in Raleigh, NC - 1760 Architecture

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a notable structure located in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. The building, known as Wakefield, dates back to 1760 and showcases distinctive architectural features characteristic of the period, including a gambrel roof and prominent chimneys. The presence of porticoes enhances its historical significance, making it a fine example of early American architecture.

    The image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document and preserve the architectural heritage of the southern United States. This particular photograph was taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, an influential photographer known for her work in capturing American architecture and landscapes.

    Published in Thomas Tileston Watermans book, The Early Architecture of North Carolina in 1941, this photograph serves as an important record of the states architectural history. It connects viewers to the rich stories embedded in North Carolinas past, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
