EDITORS COMMENTS
Waveny," the stunning Lewis Henry Lapham house, located at 677 South Avenue in New Canaan, Connecticut, was commissioned in 1911 and built in 1912. Designed by architect William Bunker Tubby, this magnificent estate is a testament to the grandeur of the early 20th century. The house is nestled within the picturesque landscape designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers, John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., between 1907 and 1915. The photograph, taken around 1915, captures the essence of this beautiful estate. The image, hand-coloured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the intricate details of the house's architecture, with its red-tiled roof, white clapboard siding, and ornate stonework. The crazy paving path leading to the house adds to the estate's charm, while the herbaceous border and flowering plants in the foreground burst with vibrant colors, creating a stunning contrast against the muted tones of the house. The landscape design by the Olmsted Brothers is equally impressive, with meticulously planned gardens and winding paths that lead to hidden corners of the estate. The lantern slide, hand-tinted by Frances Benjamin Johnston, invites us to explore the beauty and elegance of this historic property. Waveny House and its surrounding gardens are a testament to the rich heritage of American estate architecture and landscape design during the 1910s. This photograph, taken from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of a bygone era. The image is not only a work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing us with insights into the architectural and horticultural trends of the time.
