EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Flagstones," captures the elegant entrance to the Charles Clinton Marshall house located at 117 West 55th Street in New York City, designed by renowned landscape architect Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1922. The image showcases the meticulously designed garden that transformed three back yards owned by Marshall into a cohesive and stunning outdoor space. The garden, which spanned 117 and 119 West 55th Street, was a testament to Johnston's exceptional garden design skills. The Flagstones, as seen in this photograph, served as the pathway leading to the entrance of the Marshall residence. The garden was recognized at the 1922 City Gardens Club of New York City exhibition at the New York Camera Club, where Abby Story Marshall, the landowner, received the "Before and After" Special Medal for her successful garden development. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, showcases the exterior of the house and the garden in all its glory. The use of flagstones as a design element not only adds to the timeless charm of the space but also serves as a metaphor for the transformation that took place in the once ordinary back yards. The image is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and the ability to create a beautiful and tranquil oasis in the heart of the bustling city. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Lantern Slides 1920-1930 collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for those interested in the history of garden design and American architecture.
