Il Paradiso,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located at 1188 Hillcrest Avenue in Oak Knoll, Pasadena, California, was the elegant residence of philanthropist Elisabeth Severance Prentiss, designed by the renowned architectural firm Greene & Greene between 1911 and 1913. This image, taken in 1917, showcases the stunning Italianate-inspired house and its meticulously designed gardens, captured by the skilled lens of Frances Benjamin Johnston. The Greene brothers, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene, are celebrated for their innovative approach to integrating architecture and landscape design. The harmonious blend of the house and its surroundings is evident in this photograph, as the structure's warm, earthy tones and intricate details seamlessly merge with the lush, shaded gardens. The house itself boasts a charming arbor, or pergola, adorned with climbing vines, which leads to a serene, hand-tinted Italianate lantern-lit walkway. The gardens, also designed by Greene & Greene, feature a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers, providing a tranquil oasis for Mrs. Prentiss and her guests. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer and documentarian of historic houses and gardens, expertly captured the essence of "Il Paradiso" in this hand-colored lantern slide. Her keen eye for detail and appreciation for the beauty of the built environment is evident in this image, which remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Greene & Greene's innovative design and the timeless allure of the Pasadena landscape. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American architectural and garden history, showcasing the beauty and elegance of the early 20th century and the visionary work of Greene & Greene and Frances Benjamin Johnston.
