Quiet Corner
EDITORS COMMENTS
is the captivating title given to this photograph of the John Wesley Baxter house, located at the intersection of Dublin and Hill Roads in Greenwich, Connecticut. Captured in the early 1920s by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, this hand-colored lantern slide showcases the picturesque beauty of the residence and its surrounding gardens. The house, designed by architect Benjamin William Morris for William Clyde Fitch, was completed around December 1903, with later additions by John Wesley Baxter. The image reveals the stunning architectural features of the Tudor Revival-style home, including its arched entryway, intricately designed arch, and the distinctive red tile roof. The tranquil setting is further enhanced by the lush greenery and vibrant colors of the garden, with its array of trees, plants, and flowers. The photograph also features a pair of exotic parrots perched on a tree branch, adding a touch of whimsy and exoticism to the scene. The hand-tinted colors bring the image to life, highlighting the intricate details of the house and the natural beauty of the surroundings. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of American architecture during the 1920s. It is a visual representation of the quiet elegance and charm of country living in the United States during that era. The image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection held by the Library of Congress, making it an invaluable resource for architectural and historical research.
