Uplands,
EDITORS COMMENTS
located at 400 Uplands Drive in Hillsborough, California, is a stunning example of Neoclassical architecture from the early 20th century. The house was designed by renowned architect Willis Jefferson Polk and completed in 1915 for Charles Templeton Crocker, a prominent businessman and politician. The property spans over 160 acres and includes the house and its surrounding landscape, which was also designed by Polk from 1913 onwards. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the grandeur of "Uplands" in its early years. The Neoclassical style is evident in the symmetrical façade, with its columns, pediments, and intricate detailing. The house sits majestically on a hillside, surrounded by lush greenery and trees, providing a sense of seclusion and tranquility. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a leading American photographer and documentarian of historic houses and gardens, captured the essence of "Uplands" in this timeless image. Her photograph is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past, providing a glimpse into the history of American architecture and the country's grand estates. The Library of Congress holds this photograph as part of its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The image invites us to imagine the lives of those who once called "Uplands" home and to marvel at the craftsmanship and artistry of Willis Jefferson Polk and Frances Benjamin Johnston. This photograph is a reminder of the rich architectural heritage that exists in the United States and the importance of preserving it for future generations. It is a still image that tells a story of a bygone era, transporting us back in time and offering a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the past.
