EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1921, showcases the enchanting "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 significant remodeling in 1919, led by architects Edward Shepard Hewitt and William Emerson. The landscape design was also the work of Hewitt and Emerson. Originally known as "Gerry Gardens," these elegant townhouses were a hidden gem in the bustling city. The photograph captures the serene beauty of the backyards, featuring lush greenery, a reflecting pool, and shaded patios. The townhouses' exteriors are adorned with trees and colorful plants, creating a picturesque scene that transports us to a bygone era. The image is a testament to the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of New York City during the 1910s and 1920s. The intricate details of the townhouses' facades, the vibrant colors of the gardens, and the tranquil atmosphere of the backyards all come together to create a captivating tableau. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving the history and charm of our urban landscapes.
