Pre's Choisis,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a stunning residence located at Georgica Pond in East Hampton, New York, was designed by architect Grovesnor Atterbury in 1898-1899. The house was a marriage gift to Albert Herter and his wife Adele McGinnis (Mrs. Albert Herter) from Herter's mother, Mary Herter. The estate, which spanned 75 acres, was later named "The Creeks." This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1913, showcases the picturesque exterior of the house. The image is filled with a rich palette of colors and textures, from the vibrant flowerbeds and gardens to the intricate details of the columns and pillars. The house is surrounded by lush greenery, with a serene water feature adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The landscape design of the estate was a collaborative effort between Adele and Albert Herter, who had a keen interest in gardening. The gardens were a labor of love for the couple, and the resulting floral displays were a sight to behold. The photograph captures the essence of the estate's beauty, with its harmonious blend of architecture and nature. The lantern slides in this image, hand-colored between 1910 and 1920, add an extra layer of detail and charm to the photograph. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American country estates and the art of garden design during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph is now part of the Library of Congress collection, a valuable resource for those interested in the history of American architecture and gardening. Overall, this photograph of "Pre's Choisis" is a visual feast, transporting us back in time to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. The house and gardens continue to inspire and delight, a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the art of garden design.
