EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Timeless Beauty: James Kennedy Moffitt House, Piedmont, California, 1917" 2. Description: This photograph, taken in 1917, showcases the elegant James Kennedy Moffitt House located at 86 Sea View Avenue in the picturesque town of Piedmont, California. The house, designed by renowned architect Willis Jefferson Polk and built in 1912, is a stunning example of Italianate architecture that seamlessly blends into the natural beauty of its surroundings. 3. Setting the Scene: The photograph, hand-colored by Frances Benjamin Johnston, invites us to step back in time and experience the charm of the early 20th century. The serene landscape, probably designed by Polk himself, is adorned with lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and towering cypress trees. The house sits proudly atop a gentle slope, its red-tiled roof and white stucco facade reflecting the warm California sun. 4. Detailed Observations: The photograph reveals intricate details, such as the ornate ironwork on the balcony railings, the delicate flower arrangements, and the graceful curve of the stone steps leading up to the house. The cypress trees, with their distinctive dark bark and feathery foliage, frame the house and add a sense of tranquility to the scene. A lantern, perhaps used for nighttime illumination, sits atop one of the steps, adding a touch of whimsy and practicality. 5. Legacy: The James Kennedy Moffitt House stands as a testament to the beauty and elegance of the early 20th century. Its enduring charm, captured in this hand-colored lantern slide by Frances Benjamin Johnston, continues to inspire and captivate viewers today. This image, now part of the Library of Congress collection, serves as a reminder of the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of the United States.
