EDITORS COMMENTS
named later as "The Creeks," is a stunning architectural masterpiece located in East Hampton, New York, at Georgica Pond. Captured in this photograph taken in 1913 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the image showcases the beautiful Albert Herter house, designed by Grovesnor Atterbury in 1898-1899. The estate, given to the Herters as a wedding present by Mary Herter, spanned over 75 acres of picturesque land. The house is nestled amidst lush greenery, with Adele McGinnis (Mrs. Albert Herter) and Albert Herter themselves seen in the image, enjoying the serene surroundings. The landscape design is attributed to Adele McGinnis, adding to the estate's charm and elegance. The photograph reveals the exterior of the house, with its intricate details, including the grand stairway leading to the entrance, and the beautiful lantern slides 1910-1930 adorning the windows. The estate's name, "Pre's Choisis," is believed to mean "choices" in French, possibly reflecting the Herters' appreciation for the various options the estate offered in terms of its natural beauty and architectural design. The image transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to explore the rich history and heritage of American country estates from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph is a testament to the timeless allure of nature, tranquility, and the art of garden design and landscaping. This beautiful image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston collection at the Library of Congress, and it is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art, garden design, or architectural history. The photograph is a still image, capturing a moment in time, and it continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and charm.
