EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1921, showcases the elegant "Jones Wood" townhouses located on East 65th and East 66th Streets between Lexington and Third Avenues in New York City. Designed by architect John B. Snook in the late 19th century, these twelve townhouses underwent a remodeling in 1919 under the supervision of Edward Shepard Hewitt and William Emerson. The architectural duo not only revitalized the exteriors but also created stunning landscapes that transformed the once ordinary backyards into lush oases in the heart of the city. The image reveals an idyllic scene of the townhouses, adorned with vibrant flowers, potted plants, and trees that thrive in the shaded backyards. The reflecting pool in the foreground adds a serene touch to the scene, creating a tranquil atmosphere that contrasts the bustling city life outside. Originally known as "Gerry Gardens," these townhouses were a testament to the beauty and elegance of urban living during the 1910s and 1920s. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photograph is a visual representation of the rich heritage of American architecture and landscape gardening during the early 20th century. The image invites us to appreciate the timeless charm of these townhouses and the beauty of nature, even in the midst of an urban environment.
