EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1917 and 1927 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the exterior view of Miramar, a neoclassical mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. Designed by Horace Trumbauer, the mansion was built for Eleanor Elkins Widener and her husband George Widener. Tragically, George perished aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. Following George's death, Eleanor married again, this time to geographer and explorer Alexander H. Rice Jr. The image showcases the grandeur of Miramar, with its columns, balustrades, and intricate detailing. The garage entrance is visible in the foreground, a testament to the era's growing fascination with automobiles. The courtyard, adorned with trees and greenery, adds to the serene ambiance of the estate. This photograph is a significant piece of American architectural and artistic history. It captures the essence of the 1910s and 1920s, a time of opulence and grandeur, and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of Newport, Rhode Island. The Miramar mansion, with its neoclassical design and beautiful surroundings, continues to stand as a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the era.
