Old Acres,
EDITORS COMMENTS
the Robert Low Bacon house in Old Westbury, New York, is a stunning example of early 20th-century American estate architecture. Captured in this beautiful 1921 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. Designed by renowned architect John Russell Pope between 1904 and 1910, the house is a masterpiece of classical design, with its symmetrical facade, columns, and intricate detailing. The surrounding landscape, designed by Martha Brookes Brown Hutcheson during the same period, complements the house perfectly. The lush gardens, with their vibrant flowerbeds and colorful flowers, add a touch of natural beauty to the estate. The tree-lined walkway leading up to the house invites visitors to explore the grounds further. The photograph, hand-colored in the lantern slides of the 1920s and 1930s, showcases the estate in all its glory. The still image, now part of the Library of Congress collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when grand estates like Old Acres were symbols of wealth and status. The Old Acres estate, located in Nassau County, New York, is a testament to the rich architectural and gardening heritage of the United States. The house and gardens continue to inspire and captivate visitors, reminding us of the beauty and elegance of America's past. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer and documentarian of historic buildings and gardens, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the role that architecture and gardening play in shaping our cultural identity.
