EDITORS COMMENTS
Las Tejas," the Oakleigh Thorne house, located at 170 Picacho Road in Montecito, California, was originally an adobe house designed by William Alston Hayne II in the late 1800s. In 1917, the house was purchased by Oakleigh Thorne (W.O.S. Thorne), and a remodel and addition were undertaken by architect Francis W. Wilson. The resulting design beautifully blended the old and new, creating a unique and elegant residence. The 26-acre estate, owned by Helen Seymour Stafford Thorne, was a stunning example of California's natural beauty. The photograph, taken in 1923 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of the property. The image showcases the shaded gardens, filled with lush trees and plants, providing a cool retreat from the California sun. The lantern slide, part of the Library of Congress's collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the twenties were in full swing in America. The trees, with their full canopies, provide a sense of tranquility and peace, while the trees' dappled shade adds to the overall charm of the estate. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a testament to the beauty of the house and its surroundings. It is a reminder of the rich heritage of American architecture and landscape design, showcasing the timeless appeal of nature and the artistry of those who have sought to preserve it.
