EDITORS COMMENTS
Hammersmith Farm, located on Harrison Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, is a stunning example of American country estate architecture from the early 20th century. Originally built for John W. Auchincloss in 1887, the house was later owned by his son, Hugh Dudley Auchincloss. In the early 1900s, the estate underwent significant landscaping improvements under the guidance of James Frederick Dawson and Henry Hill Blossom of the Olmsted Brothers firm. This hand-coloured lantern slide photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the beauty and elegance of Hammersmith Farm in its prime. The house, with its red-tiled roof and white clapboard siding, sits gracefully amidst the rolling hills and lush gardens. The landscape design features winding paths, manicured lawns, and a serene lily pond teeming with water lilies. The Olmsted Brothers, renowned landscape architects of the time, expertly integrated the house into its natural surroundings, creating a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. The intricate details of the house, such as the ornate chimneys and decorative shutters, are accentuated by the lush foliage and the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American country estates and the importance of preserving their historical and architectural significance. The meticulous hand-colouring by Frances Benjamin Johnston adds an extra layer of detail and depth, making this a truly unique and captivating image.
