Armsea Hall,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located in Newport, Rhode Island, along Narragansett Bay, was the magnificent residence of Charles Frederick Hoffman Jr. This breathtaking image, captured by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1914, showcases the beauty and grandeur of this historic estate. The house itself, designed by Francis Laurens Vinton Hoppin of Hoppin & Koen, was completed in 1901. The landscape design, a masterpiece by the Olmsted Brothers, was executed between 1911 and 1918. The harmonious blend of architecture and nature is evident in this hand-colored lantern slide, with its meticulously designed arches, pergolas, and pathways. The estate's name, "Armsea Hall," is fitting, as the property is surrounded by the tranquil waters of Narragansett Bay. The landscape is adorned with blossoming flowers and climbing plants, adding a splash of color and vibrancy to the scene. The arched entranceway, bathed in sunlight, beckons visitors to explore the winding paths and hidden corners of this picturesque estate. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured the essence of "Armsea Hall" in this stunning, hand-tinted photograph. Her keen eye for detail and appreciation for the historic and architectural significance of the property is evident in every detail, from the intricate architectural features to the delicate blossoms that adorn the landscape. This image, a treasure from the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when grand estates and beautiful gardens were a hallmark of American heritage.
