Ballyshear,
EDITORS COMMENTS
the magnificent estate of Charles Blair MacDonald, is nestled in the picturesque town of Shinnecock Hills, Southampton, New York. Built in 1913, this architectural masterpiece was designed by Francis Burrall Hoffman, Jr., with landscape design by Rose Standish Nichols and Seth Jay Raynor. The result is a harmonious blend of architecture and nature that transports us to a bygone era. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer and architectural recordist, captured this stunning image of "Ballyshear" around 1915. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1910 and 1920, showcases the estate's exterior in all its glory. The house stands proudly amidst lush gardens, its red-tiled roof contrasting beautifully with the vibrant colors of the flower beds and trees. The estate's name, "Ballyshear," is derived from a phrase in the Irish language meaning "place of the fairy fort." This fitting title adds an air of mystique to the already enchanting property. The estate's gardens, designed by Rose Standish Nichols and Seth Jay Raynor, are a testament to the beauty and elegance of the era. They feature a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers, including an impressive urn adorning the walkway. The estate's location in Southampton, Suffolk County, New York, in the United States, adds to its allure. The serene beauty of the estate, with its stunning architecture and meticulously designed gardens, invites us to imagine the grandeur of the 1910s and the charm of a bygone era. This image, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a precious piece of American heritage that continues to inspire and delight.
