EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant exterior detail of Miramar, a neoclassical mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island, between 1917 and 1927. Designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer, Miramar was commissioned by Eleanor Elkins Widener and her husband George Widener as a summer residence. Tragically, George perished aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912, and Eleanor later married geographer and explorer Alexander H. Rice Jr. The mansion's neoclassical design is evident in the grand columns and intricate detailing adorning the facade. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, highlights the ornate niche located at the base of the columns. Johnston, a prominent American photographer and architectural documentarian, captured the essence of Miramar's grandeur and historical significance during the 1910s and 1920s. This photograph is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the era, as well as the architectural prowess of Horace Trumbauer and the vision of Eleanor Elkins Widener and her subsequent husband, Alexander H. Rice Jr. The Miramar mansion stands as a symbol of American heritage and the enduring beauty of Newport's architectural landscape.
