Notes
This photograph depicts the main house at Red Hill around 1906, with the additions made by John Henry in 1832-33. It was printed from page 396 of George Morgan's biography of Henry titled "The True Patrick Henry" (1907).
The image appears in Morgans book close to another (95.45.1) which shows the renovated house under Lucy Henry Harrison's residency. By the time this photograph was used in the book, the house was already being expanded as a mansion under Lucy's direction.
This photo was purchased by PHMF along with other research files from author Robert Douthat Meade while writing his two-volume biography of Patrick Henry in 1946. Meade offered to sell his research notes to the Patrick Henry Memorial Foundation. Dr. Meade needed the money to aid his research and writing and also wanted to promote the mission of the Foundation. He received a payment from the Foundation in 1946 for the files. This photo was removed from these files for its individual interest and accessioned separately in 1995.
