Surprise Valley Farm
EDITORS COMMENTS
was the elegant estate of railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James, located on Beacon Hill Road in Newport, Rhode Island. The property, designed by renowned architect Grosvenor Atterbury in 1914, was inspired by a village in the Italian region of Switzerland. The estate's architecture boasted a rustic, rural charm, with two murals of chickens and one of a pig, likely the work of Joseph Lindon Smith. The photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, captures the picturesque scene of the farm's exterior. The estate's buildings, with their regionalist design, blend seamlessly into the countryside, evoking a sense of tranquility and heritage. The murals of chickens and a pig add a touch of whimsy and charm to the estate, reflecting the rural life of the time. The estate's name, "Surprise Valley Farm," may have referred to the unexpected beauty and charm that lay within its grounds. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of rural life and the architectural mastery of the early 20th century. The estate's buildings, with their intricate details and rustic design, continue to stand as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Newport, Rhode Island.
