    West Point VA Architectural Detail Photo, 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a significant architectural detail from West Point, a town in King William County, Virginia. Taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, an influential photographer known for her extensive work documenting the Souths architectural heritage, this image showcases the craftsmanship of brickwork typical of the region. The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at preserving and cataloging the diverse architectural styles found in the southern United States.

    The image is linked to Rev. Arthur Gray, suggesting a personal or community connection to the property depicted. The photograph represents not only an artistic endeavor but also a historical record of a specific time and place, highlighting the residential structures that define West Point’s architectural landscape. This historical artifact is an essential piece of Virginias cultural heritage, providing insight into the craftsmanship and design aesthetics of the era.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph is housed at the Library of Congress, where it contributes to the understanding of southern architecture. It serves as a valuable resource for historians, architects, and anyone interested in the cultural narrative of Virginia and its architectural legacy.
