EDITORS COMMENTS
The Causeway" at 3100 Macomb Street in Washington, D.C., as captured in this stunning 1919 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the elegant and intricately designed estate of James Parmelee. Designed by renowned architect Charles Adams Platt in 1912, the house and its surrounding gardens were a masterpiece of early 20th-century American architecture and landscape design. The photograph showcases the unique "Causeway," a narrow, brick-paved pathway leading to the estate's entrance. The pathway, flanked by tall, wrought-iron gates and framed by a beautifully manicured hedge, adds an air of mystery and exclusivity to the property. The brick walls on either side of the Causeway are adorned with ivy, adding to the estate's natural beauty. The overall plan for the gardens was created by Charles Adams Platt, with the final design elements executed by Ellen Biddle Shipman in 1913. The estate, known as Tregaron, was home to Alice Maury (Mrs. James) Parmelee and her family. The photograph captures the estate in its prime, with the gardens in full bloom and the lantern slides from the 1910s and 1920s revealing the beauty of the gardens throughout the seasons. This image is a testament to the rich history and heritage of American estate architecture and landscape design during the early 20th century. The intricate details of the Causeway, the elegant design of the house, and the meticulously planned gardens make this photograph a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Washington, D.C., and American architecture.
