EDITORS COMMENTS
Thornewood," the magnificent estate of Chester Thorne, located in Lakewood, Pierce County, Washington, is showcased in this stunning 1923 photograph by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The house, designed by architect Kirtland Kelsey Cutter and built between 1909 and 1911, is a breathtaking example of early 20th-century architecture. The image captures the grandeur of the exterior, with its intricate details and elegant columns, framed by the lush, landscaped grounds designed by James Frederick Dawson and John Charles Olmsted of the Olmsted Brothers firm between 1908 and 1913. The estate's grounds are a feast for the eyes, with vibrant flowerbeds, stately trees, and winding paths that lead the viewer's gaze through the property. The landscape architects' masterful design blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding woods and woodland, creating a harmonious and serene atmosphere. This hand-colored lantern slide, taken from the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s and the elegance and opulence of a bygone era. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American country estates and the enduring beauty of nature, horticulture, and architectural design. The Thornewood estate remains a cherished piece of history and a source of inspiration for those who appreciate the art and craft of landscape design and the grandeur of historic homes.
