EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1917 and 1927, captures the grandeur of the Hamilton Rice home, also known as Miramar, located in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer, this neoclassical mansion was commissioned by Eleanor Elkins Widener and her late husband, George Widener, a wealthy heir and philanthropist. Tragically, George perished aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. Following his death, Eleanor married explorer and geographer Alexander H. Rice Jr., and Miramar became their summer residence. The image reveals the house's impressive facade, adorned with tall columns, intricate detailing, and an awning that shields the entrance from the elements. The lush greenery and trees surrounding the property add to the serene and picturesque setting. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a testament to the architectural beauty and historical significance of the Hamilton Rice home during the 1910s and 1920s. The Miramar mansion, with its timeless elegance, continues to stand as a symbol of American heritage and the opulence of the era.
