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 magnificent residence was designed by the architectural firm Howells & Stokes in 1910 and boasts an impressive exterior that exudes elegance and grandeur. The house is set amidst a breathtaking landscape designed by the Olmsted Brothers, led by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., between 1908 and 1916, with Hempsted of Boston serving as the contractors. The landscape design features meticulously manicured gardens, winding paths, and a stunning gateway that adds to the property's allure. The lantern slide photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the essence of this architectural masterpiece. The image is hand-colored, adding vibrant hues to the already stunning building. The entrance of the house is open, inviting visitors to explore the wonders that lie within. John Greatorex, a skilled gardener, was responsible for maintaining the grounds, ensuring that they remained a sight to behold. The Beacon Hill House is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of the United States during the 1910s. The collaboration between Howells & Stokes, the Olmsted Brothers, and Hempsted of Boston resulted in a harmonious blend of architecture and landscape design that continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the beauty and grandeur that once defined the Gilded Age in America.
