EDITORS COMMENTS
Hammersmith Farm, formerly the residence of Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, is a historic mansion located on Harrison Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. Originally built for John W. Auchincloss in 1887, the house underwent significant landscape design enhancements between 1909 and 1910, under the guidance of James Frederick Dawson and Henry Hill Blossom of the Olmsted Brothers. This stunning aerial view photograph, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the grandeur of Hammersmith Farm in its full splendor. The hand-coloured lantern slide, a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the era, offers a unique perspective of the house and its meticulously designed gardens. The Olmsted Brothers' landscape design transformed the property, with the addition of winding paths, paving, and intricate garden features. The result was a harmonious blend of the natural environment and architectural elegance, a hallmark of the Olmsted Brothers' work. Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, a prominent figure in Newport society, would have enjoyed the breathtaking views of the farm from the elevated vantage point of his mansion. The house, with its stately columns and grandiose facade, stands proudly amidst the landscaped gardens, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the Gilded Age. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a valuable historical record of Hammersmith Farm and the Olmsted Brothers' influence on American landscape design during the early 20th century. The image, held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of Newport, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole.
