EDITORS COMMENTS
Willowmere," located at 435 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn Harbor, New York, is a historic Colonial Revival house that once belonged to Rear Admiral Aaron Ward. The house, which dates back to circa 1770, was inherited by Elizabeth Cairns Ward in 1882 and underwent significant expansion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This stunning photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the elegant beauty of Willowmere. The image showcases the house's exterior, adorned with wisteria vines that drape gracefully over the columns and balcony, adding a burst of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The meticulously manicured garden, with its lush greenery and carefully placed flowers, frames the house perfectly. Johnston's skillful use of light and composition highlights the architectural details of Willowmere, including the intricate woodwork and the classic columns that define its Colonial Revival style. The lantern slides hand-colored between 1910 and 1920, which this photograph is taken from, offer a unique and captivating perspective of American heritage and the country's rich architectural history. The serene setting of Roslyn Harbor, with its tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings, adds to the overall charm of this timeless image. Willowmere stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the beauty of nature that continues to inspire and captivate us today. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in American history and heritage.
