EDITORS COMMENTS
El Fureidis," the James Waldron Gillespie house, located at Parra Grande Lane in Montecito, California, is a stunning example of early 20th century American architecture and landscape design. Captured in this photograph taken in 1917 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the residence exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. Designed by the renowned architectural firm Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, led by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, the house was built between 1905 and 1906. Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey served as supervising architects during the construction process. The house's exterior is a testament to the architectural prowess of its designers, with intricate details and classic lines that have stood the test of time. The landscape design, also by Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, was completed between 1902 and 1906. The grounds feature a beautiful pond or pool, surrounded by lush greenery and meticulously manicured gardens. The design of the house and its surroundings is reminiscent of a palatial estate, complete with grand steps leading down to the water feature. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer and documentarian of American architecture and gardens, captured this image of "El Fureidis" in its prime. The photograph is a valuable addition to the architectural and historical record of the United States, showcasing the beauty and sophistication of early 20th century American design. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and intricate details, invites us to imagine the lives of those who once called "El Fureidis" home. It is a reminder of the rich heritage of American architecture and landscape design, and a testament to the enduring allure of Montecito's storied past.
