Il Paradiso,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located at 1188 Hillcrest Avenue in Oak Knoll, Pasadena, California, was the elegant residence of philanthropist Elisabeth Severance Prentiss. Built between 1911 and 1913, the house and its surrounding landscape were the masterful creations of Greene & Greene, a renowned architectural firm known for their distinctive California Mission Revival and Arts and Crafts styles. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the exquisite beauty of "Il Paradiso." The house, with its red tile roof, arched windows, and intricate woodwork, is a testament to the Greene brothers' innovative design. The Italianate influence is evident in the terracotta tiles, wrought iron details, and the stunning loggia that overlooks the lush gardens. The landscape design, also by Greene & Greene, harmoniously complements the architecture. The gardens feature a serene pond with a graceful fountain, a winding stairway leading to a secluded terrace, and a charming stone bridge. The meticulously planned layout creates an idyllic setting, where nature and architecture blend seamlessly. This hand-colored lantern slide, taken from the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when elegant residences like "Il Paradiso" embodied the essence of the California lifestyle. The intricate details, from the ornate railings to the lush foliage, are a testament to the vision and craftsmanship of the Greene brothers and Frances Benjamin Johnston. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of California's architectural heritage.
