EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1935, captures the historic Prestwould plantation located in the Clarksville vicinity of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Built in 1797, the elegant colonial house was the home of Sir Peyton Skipwith, a prominent landowner and plantation owner of the time. The image showcases the beautiful facade of the house, with its grand steps leading up to the porch, and the lush green lawn stretching out before it. The intricate details of the building's architecture are on full display, from the ornate columns to the decorative shutters and windows. The image transports us back to a bygone era, evoking a sense of history and heritage. The Prestwould plantation, with its rich agricultural lands and stunning architecture, is a testament to the beauty and grandeur of America's past. This photograph is part of Frances Benjamin Johnston's extensive collection of lantern slides taken between the 1930s and 1940s, now housed in the Library of Congress.
