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 American architect Grosvenor Atterbury, this stunning property was inspired by a village in the Italian region of Switzerland. The estate, a masterpiece of the 1910s, boasts an exquisite blend of rustic and classical elements, reflecting the emerging trend of rural and regionalist architecture. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the essence of "Surprise Valley Farm" with its picturesque bridge and serene countryside setting. The image showcases the estate's impressive structures, which include a main house and various outbuildings, all expertly arranged amidst the lush greenery. The bridge, with its arched design and intricate stonework, adds a touch of elegance and charm to the scene. The estate's name, "Surprise Valley Farm," is a fitting description of the unexpected beauty that unfolds in this idyllic setting. The image transports us back to a time when grand estates and rural living were celebrated, and the pursuit of beauty and elegance in architecture was a cherished pastime. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer and documentarian of historic buildings, captured this moment in time, ensuring that the legacy of "Surprise Valley Farm" and its storied history would be preserved for generations to come. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's collection, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of American heritage and the beauty of our built environment.
