Beacon Hill House, Newport, Rhode Island: A Glimpse into the opulent 1910s American Estate of Arthur Curtiss James This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the breathtaking Beacon Hill House in Newport, Rhode Island. Designed by the distinguished architectural duo John Mead Howells and Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes, this magnificent estate was commissioned for railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James. The Beacon Hill House, a masterpiece of the 20th century, is nestled in the picturesque landscape of Newport, Rhode Island, United States. The architects' vision for the estate was brought to life with the addition of Italianate gardens, which can be seen in this photograph, adorning the grounds. The estate's grandeur is evident in the intricate details of the house, as well as the lush, vibrant gardens. The herbaceous border, teeming with a riot of colorful flowers, adds to the estate's charm and allure. The path, leading the eye through the garden, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the beauty that lies beyond. Johnston's photograph captures the essence of the era, transporting us back to a time of elegance and refinement. The Beacon Hill House stands as a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and landscaping, a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate us today. This photograph, part of the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division, is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the opulent world of Arthur Curtiss James and his magnificent Newport estate.
