EDITORS COMMENTS
Weld," the Larz Anderson House, located at 151 Newton Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, is a stunning example of early 20th century American architecture. Captured in this photograph, taken around 1914 by renowned architectural photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house exudes an air of elegance and refinement. The original house on the site was built in 1899, but underwent significant changes by architects Little & Browne. The Italianate-style garden, designed by Charles Adams Platt, was planted and built either late in 1899 or in 1900-1901. Platt's design features a lush, green landscape with intricate details, including a hand-tinted drinking fountain and a hedge that frames the entrance. The estate's gardens were a labor of love for Isabel Weld Perkins, wife of Larz Anderson, a former United States Ambassador to Portugal. The garden's Italianate influence is evident in the use of terraces, fountains, and classical statuary. The lantern-lit paths and colorful flowers add to the romantic, dreamlike atmosphere. This hand-colored lantern slide, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the beauty and detail of the Weld-Anderson estate. The image is filled with vibrant greens and pops of color, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The intricate details of the house and garden are on full display, from the ornate lanterns to the delicate flowers in the foreground. The Weld-Anderson House and its gardens remain a cherished piece of American heritage, a testament to the beauty and elegance of the early 20th century. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of grace and refinement.
