EDITORS COMMENTS
Willowmere," situated at 435 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn Harbor, New York, is a captivating Colonial Revival house that once belonged to Rear Admiral Aaron Ward. The estate, which dates back to circa 1770, was inherited by Elizabeth Cairns Ward in 1882 and underwent significant expansion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This evocative photograph, taken around the 1910s, showcases the timeless beauty of the house and its surrounding gardens. The image, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, presents a full-length portrait of an elderly couple, both elegantly dressed in clothing befitting the era. The man, Rear Admiral Aaron Ward, stands proudly in front of the house, while his wife gazes lovingly at him from the garden. The lush, colorful flower bed adds a vibrant touch to the scene, with a lantern and flowers providing a charming contrast to the stately house. The serene setting of "Willowmere" is further accentuated by the natural beauty of the landscape, with trees and plants creating a picturesque backdrop. The image, taken from the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of American estates and the enduring allure of the Colonial Revival style. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering figure in American landscape photography, expertly captures the essence of this historic estate, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement.
