EDITORS COMMENTS
Willowmere," the historic home of Rear Admiral Aaron Ward, located at 435 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn Harbor, New York, is depicted in this stunning photograph taken around 1914. The house, which dates back to the late 18th century, was inherited by Elizabeth Cairns Ward in 1882 and expanded into a Colonial Revival mansion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the picturesque exterior of the estate, with its lush gardens and sprawling lawns. The Colonial Revival style is evident in the home's symmetrical design, white clapboard siding, and red-tiled roof. The gardens surrounding "Willowmere" are a sight to behold, with an array of vibrant flowers and trees in bloom. In the foreground, a beautiful tulip tree is in full bloom, its yellow flowers adding a pop of color to the otherwise green landscape. The garden design is thoughtfully planned, with a variety of plants and trees that thrive in the countryside setting. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1910 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the beauty of nature was cherished. The estate, now a cherished piece of American history, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Roslyn Harbor and Nassau County, New York. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts seeking to learn more about the architectural and cultural history of the United States.
