EDITORS COMMENTS
Il Paradiso," or "The Paradise," located at 1188 Hillcrest Avenue in Oak Knoll, Pasadena, California, was the elegant residence of philanthropist Elisabeth Severance Prentiss. Captured in this stunning photograph taken in 1917, the house was designed by the renowned Greene & Greene architectural firm between 1911 and 1913. The brothers, Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene, were pioneers in the American Arts and Crafts movement, known for their innovative use of natural materials and seamless integration of architecture and landscape. The house, with its distinctive low-slung design and exposed wood beams, sits nestled among lush greenery, showcasing the harmonious relationship between the built environment and nature. The landscape design, also by Greene & Greene, features an ornamental pond, which reflects the house's elegant lines and adds to the serene ambiance. Elisabeth Severance Prentiss, an influential figure in Pasadena society, was known for her love of gardening and the beautiful gardens surrounding her home further enhanced the property's allure. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a testament to the architectural and horticultural mastery of the early 20th century in America. The image, part of the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the connection between nature and the built environment was celebrated and cherished. The house, now a National Historic Landmark, stands as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the Pasadena landscape and the enduring influence of the Greene & Greene design legacy. This photograph, with its timeless composition and evocative imagery, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich history of American architecture and gardening.
