The Causeway
EDITORS COMMENTS
at 3100 Macomb Street in Washington, D.C., as captured in this stunning 1919 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the elegant and intricately designed estate of James Parmelee. The house, designed by Charles Adams Platt in 1912, boasts a distinctive red brick facade and is surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens, the work of both Platt and Ellen Biddle Shipman. The estate, known as Tregaron, is named for Parmelee's wife, Alice Maury Parmelee. The photograph, titled "The Causeway," showcases the winding pathway that leads from the house to the walled garden, with a picturesque drinking fountain at its center. The causeway, or bridge, is flanked by lush greenery and colorful flowers, creating a serene and idyllic setting. The overall plan for the landscape was designed by Charles Adams Platt in 1912, with the gardens being completed by Ellen Biddle Shipman in 1913. The photograph, which is hand-colored, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when grand estates and beautiful gardens were a hallmark of American society in the early 20th century. The intricate details of the house, the carefully planned gardens, and the peaceful atmosphere of the estate are all on full display in this beautiful lantern slide, which is now part of the Library of Congress's collection. The estate, which is still standing today, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of American house architecture and horticulture. This photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring appeal of the gardens and estate at 3100 Macomb Street in Washington, D.C.
