EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the George Fisher Baker house, situated in the picturesque Tuxedo Park community of Livingston County, New York, during the 1910s. The house, designed by renowned architect James Brown Lord in 1887 for Pierre Lorillard, was later acquired by George Fisher Baker in 1895. The landscape in this photograph, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston around 1912, was designed by Clarence Fowler. The house, bathed in the soft glow of the sun, is nestled among lush greenery and vibrant rhododendron bushes. The exterior of the house, with its intricate stonework and grand columns, exudes an air of elegance and refinement. The surrounding gardens, meticulously designed by Fowler, add to the overall beauty and serenity of the scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an accomplished photographer and advocate for historic preservation, captured this moment in time through her lens. Her hand-colored lantern slides from the 1910s and 1920s, like this one, are an invaluable resource for understanding the history and aesthetic of American country estates during this era. The George Fisher Baker house, with its stunning architecture and breathtaking landscape, is a testament to the rich heritage of American country living. This image, taken from the Library of Congress, invites us to appreciate the beauty of nature, the elegance of garden design, and the enduring charm of a bygone era.
