EDITORS COMMENTS
New Place," located at 80 New Place Road in Hillsborough, California, is a stunning Italianate-style mansion that was completed in 1910. The house was commissioned by William Henry Crocker, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, and was designed by architect Lewis Parsons Hobart. The breathtaking landscape surrounding the house was created by landscape architect Bruce Porter, also in 1910. This exquisite photograph, taken in 1917, captures the beauty and grandeur of "New Place" in all its splendor. The image, hand-colored by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the symmetrical design of the house, with its tall, arched windows and red-tiled roof. The vanishing point of the photograph is drawn to the central axis of the house, emphasizing its symmetry and balance. The landscape design is equally impressive, with its lush, green gardens, cypress trees, and a serene pond or pool reflecting the house in its still waters. The cypress trees, a common feature in California landscapes, add a sense of tranquility and timelessness to the scene. The hand-tinted colors bring the image to life, highlighting the vibrant greens of the foliage and the rich reds and browns of the house's exterior. The photograph is a testament to the beauty of the natural world and the artistry of those who designed and created "New Place." It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when grand estates and beautiful gardens were a symbol of wealth and status. Today, "New Place" stands as a reminder of the rich heritage of American architecture and landscape design, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural and cultural history. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. It is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, architecture, or landscape design, and a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past.
