Longwood, Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by renowned American architectural photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. This image showcases the grandeur and elegance of the antebellum South, captured during the 1930s as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. The photograph features the iconic Longwood plantation house, located in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, United States of America. The house, built between 1860 and 1863, is a testament to the region's rich architectural heritage. Its exterior is adorned with intricate details, including columns, pillars, and balconies, all draped in the lush, green moss typical of the southern countryside. The image also reveals the contrast between the grandeur of the main house and the more rustic appearance of the servants' quarters, located behind the house. The rail leading to the servants' quarters is visible in the photograph, further emphasizing the social hierarchy of the time. The photograph also highlights the beauty of the natural environment, with Spanish moss hanging from the trees and Tillandsia usneoides (air plants) adding to the overall scene. The image is a poignant reminder of the region's history and the rural life that once thrived there. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photograph is an essential part of the Library of Congress's collection and a valuable resource for those studying the architecture and history of the American South during the 20th century. The image is a still, yet powerful, representation of the region's heritage and the concept of regionalism during the thirties. This photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, architecture, and the South.
