EDITORS COMMENTS
Backyard Gardens in New York City, 1920: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1920, captures the enchanting scene of Turtle Bay Gardens located at 227-247 East 48th Street and 228-246 East 49th Street in Manhattan, New York City. The image offers a captivating view of the common garden, looking east, with its terraced houses and elegant balustrades. During the 1920s, urban living in New York City was not synonymous with the absence of greenery. Residents of these row houses, despite their proximity to the bustling city, managed to cultivate beautiful backyard gardens. This photograph showcases the tranquility and charm of these private oases, providing a stark contrast to the urban landscape that surrounded them. The intricately designed balustrades, reminiscent of classical architecture, add an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. The terraced houses, with their neatly tended gardens, create a picturesque tableau that speaks to the enduring human desire for a connection with nature, even in the most unexpected places. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich architectural and cultural heritage of New York City during the 1920s. It invites us to reflect on a time when urban living and gardening were not mutually exclusive, and the simple pleasure of tending to one's own patch of earth could be found in the most unexpected places.
