EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, titled "Mariemont, Thomas Josephus Emery house, 386 Greenwood Ave. Middletown, Rhode Island, 1914," showcases the stunning architecture and landscaping of the Thomas Josephus Emery estate. The house itself is a beautiful example of late-19th-century design, with its exterior adorned in intricate detail and its stately presence commanding the landscape. The architectural masterpiece was designed by Dr. Charles F. Hawthorne, with possible influences from the renowned Richard Morris Hunt. The house's history is not clear as to whether Hawthorne's design was incorporated into the Emery house around 1901 or if it was a separate structure. The estate's landscaping is a testament to the visionary work of the Olmsted Brothers, a prestigious landscape architecture firm led by John Charles Olmsted, Henry Vincent Hubbard, and James Frederick Dawson. The brothers began their work on the property in 1903 and continued until 1908, transforming the 19-acre estate into a picturesque haven. The image, hand-colored by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of the estate's beauty, with its meticulously manicured gardens, winding paths, and serene natural surroundings. The lantern slide, produced between 1910 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when grand estates and beautiful gardens were the epitome of American heritage and elegance. This image is a treasure from the Library of Congress, providing a window into the rich history of Middletown, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole. The Mariemont estate, with its breathtaking architecture and landscaping, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, making it an important piece of both American and gardening history.
