EDITORS COMMENTS
Hammersmith Farm, located on Harrison Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, is a stunning example of American 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 property underwent significant landscaping under the guidance of James Frederick Dawson and Henry Hill Blossom of the Olmsted Brothers firm. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the beauty and grandeur of Hammersmith Farm in its prime. The house, with its intricate columned facade, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush gardens and vibrant flowerbeds. The hand-tinted lantern slide, now held in the Library of Congress, showcases the house's architectural details in stunning color. The Olmsted Brothers' landscaping design is evident in the meticulously manicured gardens, which frame the house and add to its overall elegance. The use of color in the photograph, hand-coloured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the scene to life. Hammersmith Farm is a testament to the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole. The house and its gardens continue to inspire and captivate visitors and historians alike, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
