EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1918, showcases the James Holloway Loggia School located on Fairfax Street between Cameron and Queen in Alexandria, Virginia. The school, a significant historical landmark in the United States, was built during the late 19th or early 20th century and served as an educational institution for African American children. The image captures the essence of the school's architectural beauty with its arched facade and intricate details. The loggia, a covered porch with an open front, is adorned with columns and arches, creating an inviting and welcoming atmosphere. The photograph also highlights the daily life of the community, with a woman in traditional attire brooming the school's entrance and a young boy peeking out from under the arch. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of education and community in Alexandria, Virginia, during the 1900s. The image has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American history and culture, and is a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the past for future generations. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer and architectural historian, captured this moment in time with her camera, providing us with a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the heritage and history of Alexandria, Virginia, and the United States as a whole.
