EDITORS COMMENTS
York Hall," formerly known as the Captain George Preston Blow house, is a stunning example of architectural history in Yorktown, Virginia. Located at Route 1005 and Main Street, this beautiful residence was originally built in 1738-1739 as the home of Thomas Nelson Jr. In 1914, it was purchased by Captain George Preston Blow, who commissioned Griffin & Wynkoop to make additions to the 18th-century brick house. The resulting structure is a captivating blend of old and new, showcasing the best of both eras. The photograph, taken in the 1920s by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time. The image is a hand-colored lantern slide, adding an extra layer of charm and detail. The landscape, designed by Charles Freeman Gillette in 1914, frames the house perfectly, with its lush flower beds, parterre, and pergola. The house stands proudly against the backdrop of the garden, its brick facade adorned with intricate details and the soft glow of a lantern. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and the importance of preserving historical buildings. The house, with its storied past and beautiful surroundings, continues to be a beloved landmark in Yorktown, Virginia, and a reminder of the country's fascinating history. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photograph is a treasure in the Library of Congress, providing a window into the past and inspiring appreciation for the beauty and history of "York Hall" and the Captain George Preston Blow house.
