EDITORS COMMENTS
Thornedale," the Oakleigh Thorne house, located in Millbrook, New York, is a stunning example of Federal Revival architecture, built in 1849 with later additions. Captured in this beautiful photograph taken in 1919 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the estate exudes an air of elegance and tranquility. The house, surrounded by lush greenery and colorful flowers, sits proudly atop a hill overlooking a serene pond teeming with aquatic birds. The balustrade of the staircase leading up to the house is adorned with pots filled with vibrant blooms, adding to the picturesque scene. Oakleigh Thorne, also known as W.O.S. Thorne, was the fortunate owner of this beautiful estate from 1908. The landscape design, a masterpiece in its own right, was the work of Helen Stafford Thorne, Oakleigh's wife. The gardens, filled with an array of flowers and plants, are a testament to the couple's appreciation for nature and the beauty it brings to the estate. The photograph, a hand-colored lantern slide from the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when grand manor houses and beautiful gardens were a hallmark of American heritage. The Federal Revival style of the house, with its intricate architectural features, stands out against the backdrop of the natural beauty of Millbrook, Dutchess County, New York State, United States. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when the beauty of nature and the elegance of architecture were celebrated and cherished.
