EDITORS COMMENTS
Beacon Hill House, located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, was the elegant summer residence of Arthur Curtiss James. Captured in this stunning 1917 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house stands proudly amidst the picturesque landscape designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers firm, led by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. The architectural masterpiece, designed by Howells & Stokes in 1910, boasts a grand façade adorned with intricate details, while the surrounding gardens showcase a harmonious blend of formal parterres, vibrant flowerbeds, and a serene pond. The landscape design, executed by Olmsted Brothers in collaboration with Hempsted of Boston, features a meticulously manicured lawn, colorful flower beds, and a beautiful parterre leading to the pond. John Greatorex, the skilled gardener, ensured the gardens were kept in pristine condition. This hand-colored lantern slide, taken during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of the Beacon Hill House and its stunning gardens. A testament to the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of America, this image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the United States during the early 20th century.
