Beacon Hill House, Newport, Rhode Island: A 1917 Black and White Photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the breathtaking beauty and elegance of Beacon Hill House in Newport, Rhode Island. Designed by architects John Mead Howells and Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes in 1910, this magnificent estate was built for railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James. The house, a masterpiece of the 20th century, is set amidst lush Italianate gardens, which add to its grandeur and charm.
