EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1938, captures the elegant and timeless beauty of a manor house in Gloucester, Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi. The image is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the United States during the 20th century, specifically the Neoclassical style that was popular in the American South during the 1930s. The manor house, with its grand facade and imposing entrance, is adorned with intricate architectural features such as columns, pillars, a bulls-eye window, fanlight, and pediment. The house stands proudly against the backdrop of the countryside, with moss-covered trees and doors adding to the picturesque scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a leading figure in the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South (CSAS), which aimed to document and preserve the architectural history of the region. This photograph is a valuable contribution to the CSAS collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the unique character of Southern architecture. The image is a conceptual representation of the Neoclassical style, which draws inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The style is characterized by its grandeur, symmetry, and ornate details, all of which are evident in this photograph. The photograph invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of this manor house, which continues to stand as a symbol of the region's heritage and cultural significance.
