EDITORS COMMENTS
located in East Hampton, New York, at Georgica Pond, is a stunning example of American architecture from the early 20th century. The house was designed by Grovesnor Atterbury in 1898-1899 and was given to Albert and Adele Herter as a wedding present by Mary Herter, Albert's mother, on 75 acres of land. The estate, later named "The Creeks," is depicted in this beautiful photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1913. The image showcases the elegant house surrounded by lush gardens and a serene water feature. Adele and Albert Herter were known for their love of gardening, and the landscape design is attributed to them. The garden is filled with vibrant flowers and colorful flower beds, creating a picturesque scene. A fountain, located at the center of the garden, adds to the tranquility of the setting. The house itself is a beautiful example of early 20th-century architecture, with its grand design and intricate details. The lantern slides hand-colored between 1910 and 1920 by Frances Benjamin Johnston provide a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and elegance of this historic estate. The image is part of the collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of this remarkable property. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when nature and architecture harmoniously coexisted, creating a breathtaking and timeless scene. The image is a reminder of the rich heritage of American architecture and the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
