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 1917 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house stands as a testament to the grandeur of America's Gilded Age. Designed by the architectural firm Howells & Stokes in 1910, the house boasts a classic colonial revival style, with its red brick facade, white columns, and intricate detailing. The surrounding landscape, designed by the renowned landscape architectural firm Olmsted Brothers, adds to the estate's beauty. The landscape design, which includes a lily pad-filled pond, was executed in collaboration with Henry Hill Blossom and his team. The gardens, with their vibrant foliage and carefully placed flowers, complement the house's architecture and provide a picturesque setting. John Greatorex, the estate's gardener, tended to the grounds, ensuring their meticulous upkeep. The hand-colored lantern slide, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the house and its gardens in all their splendor. The image, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the past and the opulence of Newport's elite during the early 20th century.
