EDITORS COMMENTS
Pre's Choisis," a stunning estate located in East Hampton, New York, at Georgica Pond, was the picturesque residence of Albert Herter and his wife Adele (Mrs. Albert) McGinnis. The house, designed by Grovesnor Atterbury in 1898-1899, was a gift to the newlyweds from Mary Herter, Albert's mother. This image, taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1913, captures the essence of the idyllic country retreat. The house, later known as "The Creeks," sits on 75 acres of land, surrounded by lush gardens designed by Adele and Albert Herter. The estate's exterior showcases a beautiful blend of architecture and nature, with columns and pillars adorned with climbing plants and colorful flowers in pots and urns. A shaded walkway leads to a pergola, where lanterns add a touch of elegance to the scene. The landscape, with its rolling hills, trees, and blooming flowers, is a testament to the couple's appreciation for gardening and nature. The image, hand-colored in the 1910-1920 period, is a vibrant representation of the estate's beauty and the tranquility of the countryside. This photograph, taken over a century ago, remains a valuable heritage art piece that transports us to a bygone era of American history. The Library of Congress holds this lantern slide in its collection, a reminder of the rich architectural and cultural heritage of the United States. The image invites us to imagine the simple pleasures of country living, a time when the beauty of nature was a source of inspiration and joy. "Pre's Choisis" stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the American countryside and the timeless beauty of a well-designed home.
