Surprise Valley Farm,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island, was the magnificent estate of railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James. Designed in 1914 by renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury, this architectural masterpiece was inspired by a picturesque village in the Italian region of Switzerland. The estate, a testament to the grandeur of the 1910s in America, is depicted in this photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917. The estate's design showcases the fusion of rustic and classical elements that characterized the rural architecture of the era. The exterior of the main house, with its stone walls, arched windows, and red-tiled roof, exudes an air of elegance and tranquility, blending seamlessly with the surrounding countryside. The farm buildings, too, are built in the same rustic style, adding to the overall charm of the estate. Arthur Curtiss James, a prominent figure in American industry, sought to create a retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life at Surprise Valley Farm. The estate's name is said to have been inspired by the unexpected beauty of the valley that it overlooks. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of the estate's rustic charm and the serene beauty of the rural landscape. The Library of Congress holds this photograph as part of its extensive collection of historical images, providing a glimpse into the heritage and architectural history of the United States. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of rural life and the architectural ingenuity of the early 20th century. The legacy of Surprise Valley Farm continues to inspire and captivate, a testament to the enduring allure of the American countryside.
