Reproduction photograph of the Hooff House in Charles Town, located on the southwest corner of Washington and present-day Church streets [in the 1880s at the time of this photograph it was East street]. At the time of the photograph the home was owned by James Lawrence Hooff and his wife Ann Amelia Beckham Hooff. Several family members stand and sit on the front steps of the home and in the yard, while another man stands at the side with a carriage. Zion Church is visible in the background without a steeple, along with several other buildings.Photograph Details

The original photo was certainly taken before 1891, since that is the year when Zion's steeple was made to look as it does today. The reproduction was created sometime in the 21st century.
