EDITORS COMMENTS
Thornewood," the elegant estate of Chester Thorne, located in Lakewood, Washington, is captured in this stunning photograph taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1923. The house, designed by architect Kirtland Kelsey Cutter and completed in 1909-1911, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the early 20th century. The landscape, designed by the Olmsted Brothers, James Frederick Dawson and John Charles Olmsted, between 1908 and 1913, complements the architectural beauty of the house with its lush greenery and serene water features. The photograph showcases the picturesque exterior of the estate, with its intricate details and grandeur on full display. The large, arched windows, ornate stonework, and red-tiled roof are all framed by a canopy of trees, their leaves in various stages of fall, adding to the timeless charm of the image. The estate's grounds are equally impressive, with a tranquil lily pond at the forefront, its still waters reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The image also captures the elegance of the estate's lanterns, their warm glow adding a touch of magic to the scene. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when grand estates and beautiful gardens were symbols of wealth and status. It is a reminder of the rich heritage of American architecture and horticulture, and a testament to the enduring beauty of nature. The photograph is part of the Library of Congress's collection of lantern slides from the 1920s and 1930s, and is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or architecture. Frances Benjamin Johnston's masterful composition and use of light and shadow bring this historic estate to life, transporting us back in time to a place of beauty and elegance. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and celebrating the natural beauty of our world.
