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 renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The house was initially designed by Ralph Radcliffe-Whitehead and built by Christopher Tornoe in 1911 for George Owen Knapp. Later, E. Russell Ray expanded the house in the same architectural style. The photograph showcases the house's symmetrical facade, adorned with arches, red-tiled roofs, and intricate stonework. The property's landscaping is equally impressive, with various gardens designed by notable landscape architects of the time. The lower garden was designed by Francis Townsend Underhill in 1914, while the upper garden was a collaboration between Carlton Monroe Winslow and Charles Gibbs Adams around 1913. The estate was under the supervision of Charles R. Waugh from 1912 to 1928, and the head gardener was John Scott. The photograph, hand-colored or hand-tinted, showcases the lush greenery, trees, and vibrant flowers that surround the house. The steps leading up to the house add a sense of grandeur, while the lantern-lit pathways create an inviting and romantic atmosphere. The symmetrical design of the house and gardens reflects the aesthetics of the time, with a focus on balance, harmony, and the integration of nature into the built environment. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and elegance of early 20th-century American architecture and landscape design, as documented by the talented Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art, showcasing the country's rich architectural and horticultural history.
