EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Acres," the Robert Low Bacon house, located in Old Westbury, New York, is a stunning example of early 20th-century American estate architecture. Captured in this beautiful 1921 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the era. Designed by renowned architect John Russell Pope between 1904 and 1910, the house is a masterpiece of classical revival style. Its symmetrical facade, adorned with columns and intricate detailing, exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The house is surrounded by lush gardens, designed by landscape architect Martha Brookes Brown Hutcheson during the same period. The photograph showcases the reflection of the house in the tranquil pool, with azaleas and other vibrant flowers in bloom surrounding the estate. The azaleas, in particular, add a burst of color to the scene, creating a breathtaking contrast against the reflective water and the house's gray stone exterior. The lantern slides, hand-colored between 1920 and 1930, further enhance the image's beauty and detail. The Old Acres estate is a significant historical and architectural landmark, showcasing the beauty and grandeur of the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of this remarkable estate, transporting us back in time to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. This image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in American history and architecture. The collection includes over 11,000 images of historic sites, buildings, and landscapes, providing a visual record of American heritage and culture.
