    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured this vintage photograph in Yorktown, Virginia, an area rich in American history. The image features notable architectural elements, including dormers, which are characteristic of the local residential style. This region, part of York County, is known for its historical significance, particularly during the American Revolutionary War.

    The photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a comprehensive project aimed at documenting the diverse architectural heritage of the southern United States. Johnston, a prominent figure in early American photography, was known for her contributions to architectural documentation and her ability to convey the essence of her subjects through her lens.

    This image serves as a valuable resource for those interested in American architecture and history, providing insights into the design elements that define the homes of Yorktown. The date of the photograph is not specified, but it is associated with the collection acquired from Johnstons estate in 1953, highlighting its historical relevance and educational value.
