EDITORS COMMENTS
Whitemarsh Hall, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a stunning example of Neoclassical architecture designed by the renowned architect Horace Trumbauer and completed in 1922. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston around the same year, captures the grandeur of the mansion and its beautiful gardens. Edward Townsend Stotesbury, a prominent Philadelphia businessman, commissioned the house as a gift for his daughter, Eva Stotesbury. The mansion's exterior is adorned with intricate details, including Doric columns, a grand portico, and a beautiful fountain at the center of the courtyard. The Neoclassical design is further accentuated by the meticulously manicured gardens, featuring a knot garden and a parterre, which add to the estate's picturesque beauty. The photograph, taken in black and white, showcases the timeless elegance of the property. The use of gelatin silver prints during the 1920s and 1930s was a popular choice for capturing architectural and artistic details, and Johnston's expertise is evident in this image. The photograph is now part of the Library of Congress's collection, preserving the history and heritage of this magnificent estate. The Stotesbury family's legacy and the architectural masterpiece they commissioned continue to inspire and captivate viewers, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of American architecture and art from the 20th century.
