EDITORS COMMENTS
Elk Rock," located at 11800 SW Military Lane in Portland, Oregon, is a stunning example of early 20th century architecture and landscape design. Captured in this photograph taken in 1923, the house was designed by Ellis F. Lawrence and the landscape was masterfully crafted by the Olmsted Brothers, led by John Charles Olmsted. The Peter Kerr house, named after its original owner, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the 1920s in America. The house, set against the backdrop of the lush Pacific Northwest landscape, is surrounded by an intricately designed herbaceous border and a variety of vibrant flowers. The garden, a collaboration between Lawrence and the Olmsted Brothers, is a harmonious blend of nature and design, reflecting the growing interest in garden aesthetics during the era. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of historic sites and buildings in the United States. Her lantern slides from the 1920s and 1930s, like this one, are now preserved in the Library of Congress. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and sophistication of the era, as well as the timeless beauty of the natural world and the art of garden design. The Peter Kerr house, with its elegant architecture and stunning gardens, stands as a reminder of the rich cultural and historical heritage of Portland, Oregon, and the United States as a whole. This photograph invites us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the past, while also inspiring us to cherish and preserve the natural beauty of our surroundings.
