EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exterior view of the garage doors at Miramar, the magnificent neoclassical mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island. Designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer, Miramar was commissioned by Eleanor Elkins Widener and her husband George Widener in the early 1910s. Tragically, George perished aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. Eleanor later married geographer and explorer Alexander H. Rice Jr., and Miramar became their summer residence. The image, taken between 1917 and 1927 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the grandeur of the estate. Johnston, a prolific American photographer known for her documentation of historic sites and buildings, expertly captures the intricate details of the garage doors, which blend seamlessly with the overall neoclassical design of the mansion. The image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the 1910s and 1920s. Miramar, now a National Historic Landmark, stands as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of America's Gilded Age. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is an invaluable addition to any collection of American architectural and historical imagery.
