EDITORS COMMENTS
Beacon Hill House," located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, is a stunning example of early 20th century American architecture. Captured in this photograph taken in 1917 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house was designed by the architectural firm Howells & Stokes in 1910. The landscape design, on the other hand, was the work of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and Henry Hill Blossom of the Olmsted Brothers firm, with Hempsted of Boston serving as contractors. The Beacon Hill House, also known as the Arthur Curtiss James house, is a grand residence that embodies the elegance and refinement of the 1910s. The house itself is a sight to behold, with its intricate details and beautiful facade. But it is the surrounding landscape that truly sets it apart. The gardens, designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers firm, are a testament to the firm's commitment to creating harmonious and beautiful outdoor spaces. The photograph, hand-coloured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the house and gardens in all their splendor. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer back in time to the early 1900s. The lantern slide, part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the history and heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole. The Beacon Hill House, with its stunning architecture and beautiful gardens, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its designers and builders. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to inspire and captivate, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring beauty of American architecture and landscape design.
