    Washingtons Birthplace, Westmoreland County, VA 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a significant site in Virginias Westmoreland County, specifically near Wakefield Corner, where George Washington was born. The image was taken as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project that documented architectural styles and historical sites across the region. The Wakefield National Memorial Association erected a marker at this location to commemorate Washingtons birthplace, emphasizing its historical importance.

    The composition features interior elements such as moldings, paneling, and tables, which reflect the architectural details characteristic of the era. These elements contribute to our understanding of the living conditions and design aesthetics prevalent during Washingtons time. This photograph serves not only as a visual record but also as a historical document that aids in appreciating Virginias rich heritage.

    The image is credited to Frances Benjamin Johnston, a noted photographer from the early 20th century, and is part of the Library of Congress collection. It was purchased from her estate in 1953, ensuring the preservation of this important piece of American history.
