EDITORS COMMENTS
Beacon Hill House," located in Newport, Rhode Island, is a stunning example of early 20th century American architecture. Designed by the renowned architectural team of John Mead Howells and Isaac Newton Phelps Stokes in 1910, this magnificent residence was built for railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James. The house was a masterpiece of the Italianate style, with its elegant facade, grand columns, and intricate details. The grounds of Beacon Hill House were meticulously landscaped with Italianate gardens, featuring beautiful flower beds, ornamental ponds, and lush greenery. The gardens were a reflection of the owner's appreciation for the beauty of nature and the art of gardening. In this photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, we see the Beacon Hill House in all its glory. The reflection of the house in the still waters of the ornamental pond adds an extra layer of beauty to the scene. The lilies in the pond and the blooming flowers in the garden add a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic image. The Beacon Hill House stands as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the early 20th century American elite. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when grand houses and beautiful gardens were symbols of wealth and status. Today, it remains an important part of the architectural and cultural heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a pioneering American photographer, known for her documentation of historic buildings and landscapes. Her photograph of the Beacon Hill House is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection of photographic prints from the 1910s and 1920s. This image captures the essence of a bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past.
