Surprise Valley Farm
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph capturing the picturesque beauty of Arthur Curtiss James' estate located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1917. The estate, designed by renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury, was completed in 1914 and served as the summer residence of the railroad magnate. The architectural inspiration for the estate was drawn from a village in the Italian region of Switzerland, reflecting the rural and rustic charm of the countryside. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the exterior of the estate, with its sprawling lawns, lush greenery, and quaint, rustic buildings. The estate's design embodies the regionalism movement of the early 20th century, which sought to celebrate the unique character and heritage of American rural life. The estate's buildings, with their simple, yet elegant lines and use of natural materials, blend seamlessly with the surrounding countryside, creating a harmonious and idyllic scene. The photograph is a testament to the beauty and charm of "Surprise Valley Farm," which continues to stand as a symbol of American heritage and architectural history. The estate's enduring appeal is evident in the timeless quality of Johnston's photograph, which captures the essence of a bygone era and transports us to a simpler, more rural way of life. The photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, and serves as an important document of American architectural and cultural history.
