Arcady,
EDITORS COMMENTS
the George Owen Knapp house, located on Sycamore Canyon Road in Montecito, California, is a stunning example of Italianate mission style architecture captured in this beautiful 1917 photograph by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The house, designed by Ralph Radcliffe-Whitehead, was originally built in 1911 by Christopher Tornoe and later expanded by E. Russell Ray for George Owen Knapp. The estate's landscaping is equally impressive, with the lower garden designed by Francis Townsend Underhill in 1914 and the upper garden by Carlton Monroe Winslow with Charles Gibbs Adams around the same time. The estate's superintendant from 1912 to 1928 was Charles R. Waugh, and the head gardener was John Scott. The photograph showcases the lush greenery and vibrant colors of the gardens, with trees and plants in full bloom. The Italianate architecture of the house is beautifully complemented by the natural beauty of the surroundings. The hand-tinted lantern slide captures the essence of the early 20th century California landscape and the elegance of the estate. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a pioneering American photographer and architectural recordist, known for her documentation of historic buildings and gardens. This photograph is a testament to her skill and artistry, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the beauty of Montecito's historic estates. The image is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for researchers and historians studying American history and culture.
