EDITORS COMMENTS
Brookside," located at Brookside Road in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, is a stunning example of early 20th century American architecture. Captured in this photograph taken around 1916, the house was designed by the renowned architectural firm Carre`re & Hastings and underwent significant alterations and additions in 1910 for William Hall Walker. The house's exterior exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, with ornate details and a grand terrace that invites the eye to explore its many charms. But the true magic of "Brookside" lies in its gardens, designed by the talented landscape architect Ferruccio Vitale between 1912 and 1918. The garden casino, visible in this image, is a beautiful fusion of nature and architecture, with intricately designed hedges, manicured lawns, and a serene pond at its center. The garden's lush greenery and vibrant plants add a burst of color and life to the black and white image, making it a true feast for the senses. The association of this magnificent estate with Carrie Jones, Mrs. William H. Walker, adds another layer of intrigue to its history. The photograph, taken during the 1920s, captures a moment in time when the beauty and grandeur of American estates were at their peak. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Frances Benjamin Johnston, who captured the essence of a bygone era in her lantern slides, and serves as a reminder of the rich architectural and horticultural heritage of the United States. This photograph, with its intricate details and timeless beauty, is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, architecture, and gardening. It invites us to take a step back in time and appreciate the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era.
