EDITORS COMMENTS
the George Owen Knapp house, located at Sycamore Canyon Road in Montecito, California, is a stunning example of Italianate mission style architecture, captured in this beautiful lantern slide photograph taken in 1917 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The house, designed by Ralph Radcliffe-Whitehead, was built by Christopher Tornoe in 1911 and later expanded by E. Russell Ray for George Owen Knapp. The lower garden, designed by Francis Townsend Underhill in 1914, is visible in the foreground of the image, showcasing lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The upper garden, designed by Carlton Monroe Winslow with Charles Gibbs Adams around 1913, can be seen in the background, featuring terraced levels and a serene fountain. The estate was overseen by Charles R. Waugh from 1912 to 1928, with John Scott serving as the head gardener. The mountainous backdrop of Montecito adds to the picturesque beauty of the property. The hand-tinted lantern slide, now in the collection of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of early 20th-century American estate living. This image, taken during the 1910s, is a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and garden design, and the enduring allure of the great outdoors. The Italianate mission style of the house, with its red-tiled roof, arched windows, and stucco walls, is a reflection of the European influence on American design during this period. The meticulously designed gardens, filled with a variety of plants and flowers, add to the overall charm and beauty of the estate. The lantern slide, hand-colored by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of this idyllic scene, transporting us back in time to a bygone era.
