EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1920, captures the elegant facade of the William Albert Smoot, Jr. house located at 220 North Washington Street in Alexandria, Virginia. Built around 1767 with subsequent modifications, this Georgian brick house is a significant piece of American history. The house, also known as the Lloyd house, was purchased by Smoot in 1916 and is surrounded by a beautiful landscape designed by Harriet Ansley Smoot, Mrs. William A. Smoot, Jr. The photograph offers a captivating perspective of the house, with its symmetrical design, tall columns, and intricate detailing. The garden, adorned with lush greenery, adds to the house's charm and character. A winding path leads to a quaint lantern, further emphasizing the serene and picturesque setting. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneer in documenting America's architectural heritage, captured this image as part of her extensive collection of lantern slides. Her work, which includes over 11,000 images, is an invaluable resource for understanding the evolution of American architecture and design. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and beauty of Alexandria, Virginia, and the United States as a whole during the 1920s. The house, with its classic Georgian design and stunning gardens, stands as a reminder of the past and the importance of preserving America's architectural and horticultural heritage.
