EDITORS COMMENTS
Philipland," located at 42 The Strand in New Castle, Delaware, is a stunning Federal house built for George Read Jr. in 1801. The historic site, which is now preserved in the 21st century, was once the residence of notable figures in American history. In the early 19th century, the property was owned by William Cooper, who commissioned Robert Buist to design the beautiful gardens surrounding the house. The gardens, which covered three and a half acres, featured an arbor and a grape arbor, providing shade and a picturesque setting for visitors. This image of "Philipland" was created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1928. The photograph showcases the house's elegant facade, adorned with intricate details and hand-tinted in rich colors. The gardens, with their lush greenery and vibrant fruits, are a testament to the meticulous care and attention given to the historic site. The arbor, with its grapevines and grapes, adds a touch of charm and serenity to the scene. Johnston's photograph is a valuable addition to the historical record of American architecture and gardening. The image, which is part of the Library of Congress's collection, captures the essence of a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the beauty and significance of our country's heritage. The lantern slide, hand-colored in the 1920s, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of Johnston and the importance of preserving our history for future generations. The "Philipland" property, with its Federal house and beautiful gardens, continues to inspire and captivate visitors to this day. The image, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Delaware and the United States.
