EDITORS COMMENTS
Las Tejas," the Oakleigh Thorne house, located at 170 Picacho Road in Montecito, California, is a stunning example of architectural and landscape design from the early 20th century. Captured in this photograph taken in 1923 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house stands proudly amidst its beautiful 26-acre estate. Originally an adobe house designed by William Alston Hayne II, the property underwent a remodel and addition by Francis W. Wilson following its purchase by Oakleigh Thorne in 1917. The Italianate-inspired architecture is evident in the arches, archways, and intricate details that adorn the house. The landscape design, overseen by Helen Seymour Stafford Thorne, complements the architectural beauty of the house. The gardens, which reflect the style of the era, feature a serene pond and pool, with the water's reflection adding to the overall charm of the scene. Oakleigh Thorne, also known as W.O.S. Thorne, was the owner of the estate during this period. The photograph, hand-coloured or hand-tinted, showcases the rich colours and textures of the property, transporting us back in time to the idyllic gardens of Montecito in the 1920s. This photograph is a testament to the heritage and art of the past, with Frances Benjamin Johnston's skillful composition and the timeless beauty of the property shining through. The image, held in the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our architectural and landscape history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
