Beacon Hill House,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located at Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, was the elegant residence of Arthur Curtiss James in the early 1900s. This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the estate's blue garden. The Olmsted Brothers, Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., were the masterminds behind the garden's design, blending harmoniously with the picturesque landscape of Newport. The garden, filled with vibrant flower beds and meticulously manicured lawns, adds a touch of enchantment to the already impressive Beacon Hill House. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering figure in American photography and a leading documenter of historic buildings and gardens, captured the essence of this historic property. Her photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American architecture and garden design during the 1910s. Arthur Curtiss James, a prominent figure in his own right, was a Congressman from Rhode Island during this period. The Beacon Hill House, with its stunning gardens, served as a testament to his success and his appreciation for the beauty of Newport, Rhode Island. This photograph, with its timeless appeal, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of historic gardens.
