Villa Rose,
EDITORS COMMENTS
also known as the Joseph Donahoe Grant house, is a stunning Italianate mansion located at 2260 Redington Road in Hillsborough, California, built in 1912. The house was designed by architect Lewis Parsons Hobart, with landscaping by Hobart and Edith Macleay Grant, the wife of Joseph Donahoe Grant. This beautiful image, captured by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the grandeur of the villa's entrance and its meticulously designed gardens. The symmetrical facade of the villa is adorned with tall, arched windows, a grand portico, and an intricately designed urn atop the pediment. The entrance gate, with its ornate ironwork, adds to the villa's elegant charm. The hand-tinted lantern slide, taken from a perspective that emphasizes the vanishing point, highlights the villa's impressive design and the sweeping curves of the driveway leading up to the entrance. The gardens, designed by Edith Macleay Grant, are just as breathtaking as the villa itself. The gardens feature a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers, all arranged in a symmetrical pattern that complements the villa's architecture. The use of urns and other decorative elements throughout the gardens adds to the overall Italianate aesthetic. This image, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the beauty and elegance of the Villa Rose. It is a testament to the timeless appeal of traditional garden design and the enduring allure of Italianate architecture. The lantern slide, hand-colored by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images of American architecture and gardening.
