Middleton Place,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located at 4300 Ashley River Road in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic estate renowned for its stunning gardens and the John Julius Pringle Smith house. The image captured in 1928 by Frances Benjamin Johnston showcases the beauty and grandeur of this plantation, which was once the home of the Middleton family. The house, a converted 1755 guest quarters, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery, with the sprawling gardens in the foreground. The gardens, first planted in 1791 by Henry Middleton, have been meticulously restored by John Julius Pringle Smith, a Middleton descendant, and Heningham Ellett (Mrs. J. Pringle Smith) in the 1920s. The estate is home to the iconic "Middleton Oak," a massive live oak tree with a trunk more than 10 feet (3.0 m) in diameter. This magnificent tree, adorned with Spanish moss, adds to the estate's enchanting allure. The live oak tree, scientifically known as Quercus virginiana, is a symbol of the Southern United States and is known for its long lifespan and resilience. The image, hand-colored and tinted, captures the essence of the 1920s and the charm of the Carolinas. The still image, part of the Library of Congress collection, is a testament to the rich history and heritage of the United States. The beauty of "Middleton Place" is not only in its architectural grandeur but also in the harmony between the house, gardens, and the natural surroundings. The Tillandsia usneoides (Spanish moss) draped over the live oak tree adds a touch of whimsy and mystery, making this estate a must-visit for anyone interested in American history and garden design.
