EDITORS COMMENTS
Beacon Hill House," located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, is a stunning example of early 20th-century American architecture. Captured in this photograph taken in 1914 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house was designed by the architectural firm Howells & Stokes in 1910. The landscape design for the estate was the collaborative effort of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and Henry Hill Blossom of the Olmsted Brothers firm, with Hempsted of Boston serving as contractors. The Beacon Hill House, home to Arthur Curtiss James, is a grand mansion nestled amidst lush gardens and landscaped grounds. The image showcases the house's elegant facade, adorned with intricate details and a red tile roof. The surrounding gardens, designed by Olmsted Jr. and Blossom, are a riot of color, with vibrant flowers in bloom and carefully tended shrubs. The garden design includes a beautiful flowerpot or lantern, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer in the field of American architecture, captured the essence of this historic estate in this hand-coloured lantern slide. The image transports us back to the 1910s, offering a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of Newport's Gilded Age. The Beacon Hill House, with its stunning architecture and breathtaking gardens, remains an enduring symbol of America's architectural and horticultural heritage. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past, a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Newport, Rhode Island, and a tribute to the vision and talent of the individuals who brought this magnificent estate to life.
