EDITORS COMMENTS
the George Owen Knapp house, located at Sycamore Canyon Road in Montecito, California, is a stunning example of Italianate mission style architecture captured in this beautiful 1917 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston. The house was originally designed by Ralph Radcliffe-Whitehead and built by Christopher Tornoe in 1911 for George Owen Knapp. Later expansions were carried out by E. Russell Ray in 1911. The lower garden, designed by Francis Townsend Underhill in 1914, is a lush and shady retreat, filled with vibrant colors and greenery. The upper garden, depicted in the photograph, was designed by Carlton Monroe Winslow with Charles Gibbs Adams around 1913. The estate was under the supervision of Charles R. Waugh from 1912 to 1928, with John Scott serving as the head gardener. The photograph, hand colored or hand tinted, showcases the beauty and elegance of the estate, with its intricate steps leading up to the house and the various levels of the garden, each offering a unique perspective of the property. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the 1920s and 1930s, captures the essence of the estate's charm and the natural beauty of its surroundings. This image, taken in the 1910s, is a testament to the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of Montecito, California, and the United States as a whole. The photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for those interested in American history, architecture, and gardening. Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952) was a renowned American photographer and architectural recordist, known for her documentation of historic buildings and gardens across the United States. Her work continues to inspire and inform our understanding of American history and cultural heritage.
