EDITORS COMMENTS
Beacon Hill House, formerly known as Arthur Curtiss James House, is a historic mansion located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island. This stunning residence, built in 1910 with architectural designs by Howells & Stokes, showcases an elegant blend of American country house architecture and picturesque landscaping. The landscape design was the collaborative effort of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and the Olmsted Brothers, with Hempsted of Boston serving as contractors. John Greatorex, a skilled gardener, was responsible for its meticulous maintenance. This image, taken in 1917 by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of this esteemed property. The hand-colored lantern slide showcases the house's striking blue exterior, adorned with intricate flowerbeds and pathways that lead to the sprawling lawn. The landscape design, a masterpiece in its own right, boasts a harmonious blend of color and concept, with Olmsted's signature style evident in the thoughtful placement of trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds. This photograph, taken during the 1910s, is a testament to the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole. The Beacon Hill House stands as a symbol of the opulence and sophistication that characterized the Gilded Age, a period of significant growth and prosperity in American history.
