EDITORS COMMENTS
The Causeway" at 3100 Macomb Street in Washington, D.C., as captured in this stunning 1919 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a breathtaking glimpse into the elegant estate of James Parmelee. The house, designed by Charles Adams Platt in 1912, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the early 20th century. The overall plan for the landscape was created by Platt, with the gardens designed by Ellen Biddle Shipman in 1913. The photograph showcases the unique "Causeway," a winding pathway leading to a serene, lush garden area. The brick path, flanked by colorful flowerbeds, is adorned with a charming drinking fountain and framed by a beautiful parterre, adding to the estate's picturesque beauty. The perspective of the photograph, with its careful composition and attention to detail, highlights the harmonious blend of architecture and nature. The estate, also known as Tregaron, was home to Alice Maury (Mrs. James) Parmelee, and the gardens were a source of pride and enjoyment for her and her family. The gardens were not only a visual delight but also a horticultural masterpiece, showcasing a diverse range of plants and flowers. This photograph, hand-colored from a lantern slide, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a testament to the artistic vision of Frances Benjamin Johnston, who captured the essence of this remarkable estate. The Causeway at 3100 Macomb Street, Washington, D.C., remains a cherished piece of American heritage and a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the early 20th century.
