EDITORS COMMENTS
Willowmere," located at 435 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn Harbor, New York, is a historic Colonial Revival house that was once the home of Rear Admiral Aaron Ward. The house, which dates back to circa 1770, was inherited by Elizabeth Cairns Ward in 1882 and underwent expansion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This stunning photograph, taken around 1914, captures the beauty and elegance of the estate as it was then. The image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the picturesque exterior of the house, surrounded by lush gardens and shaded by mature trees. The Colonial Revival architecture is evident in the symmetrical design of the house, with its columned porch and red roof. The gardens, designed with a careful attention to detail, are a feast for the eyes. Irises and other colorful flowers bloom in abundance, adding a splash of vibrancy to the scene. A tree-lined walkway leads the way to the house, inviting visitors to explore further. The serene setting of "Willowmere" is a testament to the beauty of the American countryside and the enduring appeal of historic homes. This photograph, hand-colored from a lantern slide, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse of the heritage and history that continues to inspire us today. Located in Nassau County, New York, "Willowmere" is a reminder of the rich architectural and cultural heritage of the United States. The image, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable resource for those interested in American history, garden design, and landscape architecture.
