EDITORS COMMENTS
York Hall," also known as the Captain George Preston Blow house, is a stunning example of architectural history and landscaping beauty located at Route 1005 and Main Street in Yorktown, Virginia. This image, captured by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1929, showcases the elegant exterior of the house, which was designed by Griffin & Wynkoop and features additions to the 18th-century brick house originally built by Thomas Nelson Jr. in 1738-1739. The house was purchased by Captain George Preston Blow in 1914. The photograph also highlights the exquisite landscaping work of Charles Freeman Gillette, who began his landscaping efforts on the property in 1914. The vibrant flowerbeds, filled with blossoms in full bloom, add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The house's facade, adorned with intricate details and features, is further accentuated by the natural beauty of the surrounding trees and the winding path leading up to the front door. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1920 and 1930, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the charm of the 18th century blended seamlessly with the elegance of the 20th century. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and the beauty of nature, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs. This photograph, taken during the spring season, is a reminder of the passing of time and the enduring beauty of historic homes and their landscapes. The image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture.
