EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1921, showcases the elegant "Jones Wood" townhouses located on East 65th and East 66th Streets between Lexington and Third Avenues in New York City. Designed by architect John B. Snook in 1868 and later remodeled by Edward Shepard Hewitt and William Emerson in 1919, these twelve townhouses were originally known as "Gerry Gardens." The image captures the timeless beauty of these historic townhouses, with their red-brick facades, ornate details, and lush greenery. The landscape design, a collaboration between Hewitt and Emerson, features a serene country garden, complete with trees, plants, and a charming fountain. The garden, a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city, adds to the townhouses' allure and charm. The photograph, hand-colored between 1920 and 1930, showcases the townhouses' rich history and the enduring appeal of classic architecture. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lives of those who once called these beautiful homes their own. The presence of religious symbols, such as the cross atop one of the buildings, speaks to the diverse cultural and religious heritage of the area. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of classic architecture and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations. It is a reminder of the power of nature to transform urban spaces and the timeless allure of a well-designed garden. The "Jones Wood" townhouses continue to stand as a symbol of elegance and refinement, a testament to the rich history of New York City and the United States as a whole.
