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 late 1900s, the property underwent significant landscaping under the guidance of James Frederick Dawson and Henry Hill Blossom of the Olmsted Brothers firm. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the beauty and elegance of Hammersmith Farm in its prime. The house, with its red brick facade and white columns, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and colorful flower beds. The intricate details of the house are on full display, from the ornate window frames to the decorative chimneys. The landscaping design, executed by Dawson and Blossom, is evident in the meticulously maintained gardens, which frame the house and lead the eye towards the distant trees and rolling hills. The use of hand-tinting and hand-coloring by Frances Benjamin Johnston adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. Hammersmith Farm is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of American country estates during this era. Its history, architecture, and landscaping continue to captivate and inspire, making it an important piece of heritage art and a significant contribution to the architectural and historical record of the United States.
