Figure 16 Guy Johnson, A North View of Fort Johnson Drawn on the Spot
by Mr. Guy Johnson,
Sir Wm. Johnson's Son, London, 1759. Ink and wash on paper. (Courtesy,

This view of Johnson's limestone house and compound on the Mohawk River
was drawn by Johnson's nephew and son-in-law, Guy Johnson, who also built
a large mansion, Guy Hall, that survives in modified form in the city
of Amsterdam. Of all the buildings visible in this print, only the main
house still stands. |
