Description
An account of the resource
Robert W. Tebbs was a prominent architectural photographer in the New York firm of Tebbs & Knell, 101 Park Avenue, New York, New York. He marketed himself as "Photographer to Architects and Decorators." His pictures are widely available in mid-twentieth century photographic essays concerning architecture and architectural history. He is well-known for his photographic survey of Louisiana plantation homes created in the 1920s. Tebbs photographed the Raleigh Tavern, the Capitol, and the Wren Building at Colonial Williamsburg soon after their restoration on commission for publication in various magazines and newspapers.
In October 1933, he conducted his first photographic survey in Williamsburg and approached the Williamsburg Holding Corporation with a proposal for a "Travelling Exhibition of Williamsburg" featuring his photographs of the exteriors and interiors of completed exhibition buildings. He also suggested that his photos could be marketed to various architectural magazines and newspapers to help promote the new museum. William Graves Perry and Susan Higginson Nash reviewed his portfolios and selected those images they approved for publication use. Tebbs was then allowed to sell and distribute them to various publishers provided the Williamsburg Holding Corporation agreed to the proposed usage. In a letter to Kenneth Chorley, Vice-President of the Williamsburg Holding Corporation, written on December 5, 1933, Bela Norton, Director of Public Relations, noted "Everyone here who has seen the pictures agrees that they have the stamp of quality and professional excellence that we have not yet had."
Tebbs remained in contact with Williamsburg Holding Corporation officials between 1933 and 1934, and returned several times to take more photographs when passing through the area on other assignments. However, he never received a contract from Colonial Williamsburg for more extensive photographic work due to an agreement already in place with Frank Nivison, who served as the official contract photographer for documentation of the Restoration's progress. He approached Colonial Williamsburg officials again in 1939 with a proposal to return and photograph some of the more recently completed structures, noting that his Williamsburg photos from the early 1930s had been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Upon his death in 1945, Robert Tebbs left a legacy of architectural photos that are preserved at several other institutions, including the Library of Congress and the Louisiana State Museum.
This collection of ninety-seven photographs encompasses two portfolios, one titled "View of Capitol Building of Reconstructed Colonial Williamsburg" and the other titled "Views of Raleigh Tavern, Williamsburg, Va.," which also includes images of the Wren Building and the President's House at the College of William & Mary. Exterior and interior view of each structure are included, along with detail views of various furnishings and architectural features. Rooms featured in the portfolio of Capitol photos include the General Court, House of Burgesses, Council Chamber, Conference Room, Committee Room, Clerk's Office, and Secretary's Office. The Raleigh Tavern interior views include the Parlor, Reception Room, Tap Room, Daphne Room, Apollo Room, and Public Dining Room. Tebbs also documented the Chapel, Great Hall, and the Blue Room inside the Wren Building.

This collection of ninety-seven photographs encompasses two portfolios, one titled "View of Capitol Building of Reconstructed Colonial Williamsburg" and the other titled "Views of Raleigh Tavern, Williamsburg, Va.," which also includes images of the Wren Building and the President's House at the College of William & Mary. Exterior and interior view of each structure are included, along with detail views of various furnishings and architectural features. Rooms featured in the portfolio of Capitol photos include the General Court, House of Burgesses, Council Chamber, Conference Room, Committee Room, Clerk's Office, and Secretary's Office. The Raleigh Tavern interior views include the Parlor, Reception Room, Tap Room, Daphne Room, Apollo Room, and Public Dining Room. Tebbs also documented the Chapel, Great Hall, and the Blue Room inside the Wren Building.

Williamsburg Record Photographs
Description
An account of the resource
Arthur A. Shurcliff [ne Shurtleff] (1870 – 1957) was the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s first landscape architect. A student of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., considered the father of landscape architecture in America, Shurcliff’s Williamsburg gardens are recognized as consummate examples of the Colonial Revival style.
Record photography played an important role in the research process undertaken to restore Williamsburg’s historic district to its eighteenth century appearance. In addition to having professional contract photographers systematically produce pre-restoration and progress photos of each building site, the members of the architectural team comprising the Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw, and Hepburn also took their own separate series of images to aid their specific projects. Assembled into a series of five volumes labeled "Williamsburg Record Photographs," Shurcliff’s photos document pre-restoration scenes of Williamsburg and archaeological investigations underway, as well as preliminary restoration or reconstruction work on structures, along with recreation of garden paths and plantings. Before beginning landscape work, Shurcliff carefully analyzed existing garden features at each site, examined any archaeological discoveries connected to garden layouts, and studied extant eighteenth-century sites throughout tidewater Virginia to aid with design precedents.

Description
An account of the resource
A series of eight hundred progress photographs taken by Thomas Layton, a contract photographer for the Williamsburg Restoration between 1928-1930, to document the first phase of work. Layton operated a photo studio at 507 E. Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia. The Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw & Hepburn hired him in 1928 to take record photographs at different sites and to make copy photographs from historical publications and nineteenth-century images that would aid their research. The subject matter of the collection focuses upon restoration or reconstruction work taking place in Blocks 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, with the greatest number focusing upon the architectural investigations and preservation work at the Wren Building, College of William & Mary. A smaller segment of the collection encompasses general Williamsburg scenes and structures in the mid-Atlantic region studied by the team as architectural precedents for the work being undertaken in Williamsburg.
Colonial Williamsburg's Audiovisual Department produced master file prints from all of the negatives in the Layton Collection in the 1950s. By the early 1960s, a group of over three hundred nitrate negatives began showing signs of deterioration and were disposed of.

The Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw & Hepburn hired him in 1928 to take record photographs at different sites and to make copy photographs from historical publications and nineteenth-century images that would aid their research. The subject matter of the collection focuses upon restoration or reconstruction work taking place in Blocks 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, with the greatest number focusing upon the architectural investigations and preservation work at the Wren Building, College of William & Mary. A smaller segment of the collection encompasses general Williamsburg scenes and structures in the mid-Atlantic region studied by the team as architectural precedents for the work being undertaken in Williamsburg.
Colonial Williamsburg's Audiovisual Department produced master file prints from all of the negatives in the Layton Collection in the 1950s. By the early 1960s, a group of over three hundred nitrate negatives began showing signs of deterioration and were disposed of.

Description
An account of the resource
A series of eight hundred progress photographs taken by Thomas Layton, a contract photographer for the Williamsburg Restoration between 1928-1930, to document the first phase of work. Layton operated a photo studio at 507 E. Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia. The Williamsburg office of architects Perry, Shaw & Hepburn hired him in 1928 to take record photographs at different sites and to make copy photographs from historical publications and nineteenth-century images that would aid their research. The subject matter of the collection focuses upon restoration or reconstruction work taking place in Blocks 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, with the greatest number focusing upon the architectural investigations and preservation work at the Wren Building, College of William & Mary. A smaller segment of the collection encompasses general Williamsburg scenes and structures in the mid-Atlantic region studied by the team as architectural precedents for the work being undertaken in Williamsburg.
Colonial Williamsburg's Audiovisual Department produced master file prints from all of the negatives in the Layton Collection in the 1950s. By the early 1960s, a group of over three hundred nitrate negatives began showing signs of deterioration and were disposed of.

Highlights of the Albert Durant Photography Collection
Description
An account of the resource
The Albert Durant Photography Collection encompasses photoprints, negatives, slides, and personal papers that document the photographic production of Williamsburg's first black city-licensed photographer, Albert Durant. Durant's photographic output provides a priceless visual history of African American life in Williamsburg, Virginia and surrounding communities from the late 1930s to the early 1960s. Since the collection encompasses ten thousand images, highlights of some of the major subject categories covered by the photos are presented here.
The collection provides a fascinating glimpse into African American social life in Williamsburg during the 1940s and 1950s. Durant captured the atmosphere of local jazz and night clubs through scenes of performers singing and dancing and audiences socializing. Durant also acted as photographer for many African American clubs and organizations. Along with taking formal group portraits, he documented these groups through informal shots of meetings, dinners, and special events.
African American student life during segregation is also featured in this visual archive. While a high school student at James City County Training School, Durant began developing his interest in photography by taking images of student activities, including sports, dances, plays, assemblies, and graduations. As an adult, Durant acted as a portrait photographer for Junior-Senior Proms at local black high schools and also documented the sports teams, marching bands, choirs, students, and faculty at Bruton Heights School in Williamsburg.
African American spiritual life is another strength of the collection. Durant photographed church groups, such as choirs and missionary circles, as well as individuals participating in rituals at many different black churches in the Williamsburg area.
Occupations, working conditions, and business opportunities for African Americans in Williamsburg are recorded in Durant's photos, too. The photos show African Americans working in restaurants, beauty and barber shops, stores, offices, dry cleaners, and gas stations.
Albert Wadsworth Durant was born on February 2, 1920 in New York City to Samuel and Bessie Durant. His mother was a native of Williamsburg who moved with her husband to New York and worked as a domestic servant for a family. After the death of her husband, who was originally from the West Indies, Bessie Durant and her children relocated to Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1929.
At age 36, Durant married Elsie Lucille Ferguson on August 18, 1956. They raised three sons, Albert W. Durant Jr., Byron Murphy, and Roderick Ferguson, and two daughters, Yvette Durant and Deanna Ferguson.
Albert Durant ran his own chauffeuring and limousine business in the Williamsburg area, providing services to many distinguished visitors to the city, including the Queen Mother of England, the Prince of Japan, and various chief justices. He often took his customers on excursions to local historic sites, including Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and the James River plantations. Through course work at the College of William and Mary, Durant acquired a background in American history which enabled him to provide historical commentary as he drove customers through the countryside.
Durant's contacts at the College of William and Mary sparked his initial interest in photography and once he had obtained equipment and training, Durant began creating his own historical record of the Williamsburg area. He produced hundreds of portraits documenting the families and activities of African American residents and also documented significant events, places, and persons in and around Williamsburg.
In addition, Albert Durant worked to improve conditions for African Americans in Williamsburg by serving in various positions in the city's government. He acted as the first black Justice of the Peace and Bail Commissioner in Williamsburg and served as the first black magistrate of the General District Court from his appointment in 1962 until his retirement in 1975.
Albert Durant died at age 71 on April 14, 1991.
