EDITORS COMMENTS

The estate's name, "Surprise Valley Farm," adds an element of mystery and allure. The photograph, taken in 1917 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of this idyllic retreat. The image showcases the estate's exterior, with its picturesque buildings nestled among the rolling hills and lush greenery. One of the most notable features of "Surprise Valley Farm" is the mural of a Renaissance carpenter by Joseph Lindon Smith. The mural, which can be seen on one of the buildings, adds a touch of history and artistry to the estate. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, highlights the intricate details of the mural and the surrounding architecture. The estate's design was a reflection of the regionalism movement, which emphasized the use of local materials and traditional architectural styles. The rural setting and rustic charm of "Surprise Valley Farm" made it a popular destination for those seeking a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of city life. Today, "Surprise Valley Farm" stands as a testament to the beauty and elegance of American architecture during the early 20th century.
