New Place,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located at 80 New Place Road in Hillsborough, California, is a stunning Italianate-style mansion that was completed in 1910. Designed by architect Lewis Parsons Hobart, this magnificent residence was once the home of William Henry Crocker, a prominent businessman and philanthropist. The exquisite gardens surrounding "New Place" were designed by landscape architect Bruce Porter and completed the same year as the house. This photograph, taken in 1917, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of this historic estate. The image, hand-colored by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the elegant facade of the house flanked by two tall, majestic cypress trees. The cypress trees, a common feature in California landscapes, add an air of tranquility and sophistication to the scene. The meticulously designed gardens, which can be seen in the background, are a testament to the art of landscape gardening during the early 20th century. The lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and intricate garden features create a breathtaking contrast to the stately home. The lantern slide, hand-tinted by Johnston, captures the essence of "New Place" as a symbol of opulence and natural beauty. This photograph is a valuable piece of American heritage, offering a glimpse into the past and showcasing the exquisite architectural and horticultural achievements of the early 1900s. The image, taken from the collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring allure of California's historic estates and the artistry of those who designed and cultivated them.
