Surprise Valley Farm
EDITORS COMMENTS
was the esteemed estate of railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James, located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, between 1917 and 1927. The property, designed by renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury in 1914, was inspired by a village in the Italian region of Switzerland. The estate's architecture is depicted in this photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image captures the essence of rural life on the farm, with agricultural workers engaged in their daily tasks. The men, dressed in work clothes, are shown tending to the land, with one man repairing a wooden fence and another working on a chimney. The farmhands, who were an essential part of the estate's operation, lived and worked on the property. The estate's buildings, including the main house and various outbuildings, are also featured in the photograph. The mural on the wall, created by artist Joseph Lindon Smith, adds to the estate's unique character and charm. The farm's rolling hills, lush greenery, and picturesque countryside setting further emphasize the idyllic lifestyle enjoyed by the James family and their employees during this time. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer and architectural historian, captured this moment in time, providing a glimpse into the heritage and history of "Surprise Valley Farm" and the agricultural way of life in America during the 1910s. The Library of Congress holds this photograph as part of their extensive collection of historical images.
