EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Rural Plains, Mechanicsville Rural Point vicinity, Hanover County, Virginia, 1935," is a stunning example of rural American architecture captured by the renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases a quintessential farmhouse nestled in the rolling hills of Hanover County, Virginia. The weathered wood siding and white trim of the house blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious relationship between the structure and the land. The house, known as the Shelton House or Shelton John House, features a classic farmhouse design with a central gable and a wraparound porch. The porch, with its tall, slender columns and intricate latticework, invites one to imagine lazy afternoons spent rocking in a chair, taking in the breathtaking views of the countryside. The steps leading up to the porch are framed by lush foliage, adding to the idyllic scene. The entrance to the house is marked by a simple yet elegant lantern, casting a warm glow on the steps and the surrounding area. The facade of the house is adorned with shuttered windows, adding to its charm and character. The image captures the essence of rural life in America during the 1930s, providing a glimpse into a bygone era. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a leading figure in American photography and architecture, captured this image as part of her extensive collection of lantern slides taken between 1930 and 1940. Her work, which includes over 13,000 images, documents the architectural and cultural heritage of the United States and is an invaluable resource for historians, architects, and anyone interested in American history.
