The house, which is the birthplace of General Robert E. Lee, is a significant piece of American history. The architect of Stratford Hall remains unknown, but the house is a fine example of colonial architecture. The image showcases the symmetrical design of the building, with its central doorway flanked by tall, rectangular windows. The white clapboard siding and black shutters add to the classic charm of the estate. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees, adding to the serene and picturesque setting. The image is in black and white, giving it a timeless and nostalgic feel. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when plantations like Stratford Hall were a symbol of wealth and status. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a prolific photographer, known for her documentation of historic buildings and landscapes in America.
