EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1917 and 1927, captures the exterior view of the Hamilton Rice Home in Newport, Rhode Island. Known as Miramar, this magnificent neoclassical mansion was designed by the renowned architect Horace Trumbauer for Eleanor Elkins Widener and her husband George Widener. Tragically, George perished aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. After his death, Eleanor married explorer and geographer Alexander H. Rice Jr., and Miramar became their summer residence. The image showcases a section of the house facade, adorned with intricate details that exemplify the neoclassical style. The awning, a common feature in Newport's grand houses, provides shade and adds to the overall elegance of the structure. The lush greenery surrounding the property enhances the serene and picturesque setting. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer, captured this image as part of her documentation of America's architectural heritage. The photograph is now housed in the Library of Congress, providing a valuable record of the country's rich architectural history. The Hamilton Rice Home, with its grandeur and historical significance, continues to stand as a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the early 20th century.
