EDITORS COMMENTS
named after its first owner, Albert Herter, is a stunning architectural masterpiece located at Georgica Pond in East Hampton, New York, captured in this beautiful photograph taken around 1913 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The house, designed by architect Grovesnor Atterbury in 1898-1899, is a perfect blend of 19th and 20th-century architectural styles. The exterior exudes elegance and charm with its intricate balconies, balcony, and stairway, all adorned with colorful flowers and plants. The house's facade boasts a beautiful garden design, which was tended to by Adele McGinnis (Mrs. Albert Herter) and Albert Herter themselves. The image showcases the house's picturesque location, nestled amidst the natural beauty of the countryside. The tranquil pond, surrounded by lush greenery, adds to the serene ambiance of the scene. The lantern slides hand-colored between 1910 and 1920 further enhance the image's vibrancy and detail. The photograph is an excellent representation of the American country estate during the early 20th century, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the era. The image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to her significant contribution to American architectural and landscape photography. The image invites us to imagine the peaceful lifestyle of the Herters and the many memories they created in their beautiful home by the pond. The intricate details of the house, the lush gardens, and the serene surroundings transport us to a bygone era, making this photograph a true treasure in the annals of American architectural and landscape history.
