EDITORS COMMENTS
Il Paradiso," located at 1188 Hillcrest Avenue in Oak Knoll, Pasadena, California, was the stunning residence of philanthropist Elisabeth Severance Prentiss. Designed by the renowned architectural firm Greene & Greene between 1911 and 1913, this masterpiece is a testament to the architectural and landscaping prowess of the era. The house and its surrounding gardens are a harmonious blend of art and nature, showcasing the unique style of Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer and architectural documentarian, captured the essence of "Il Paradiso" in this exquisite hand-colored lantern slide from the 1910s. The image reveals the house's rustic yet elegant design, with its low-slung roofs, exposed beams, and intricate woodwork. The landscape, also designed by Greene & Greene, is a lush and serene oasis, featuring an ornamental pond, winding paths, and a variety of trees and shrubs. Elisabeth Severance Prentiss, known as "Mrs. Francis Fleury Prentiss," was an influential figure in Pasadena society during the early 20th century. Her home, "Il Paradiso," served as a gathering place for the city's elite and became a symbol of the region's architectural and horticultural heritage. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the beauty of nature and the artistry of design were celebrated in perfect harmony. The image, part of the Library of Congress's collection, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring allure of Greene & Greene's architectural and landscaping legacy. The hand-tinted colors add a touch of vibrancy to the scene, making it a true treasure for anyone interested in American history, architecture, and gardening.
