EDITORS COMMENTS
Thornedale," the Oakleigh Thorne house, located in Millbrook, New York, is a stunning example of Federal Revival architecture, constructed in 1849 with later additions. The residence, which was the home of Oakleigh Thorne (W.O.S. Thorne) and his wife, Helen Stafford Thorne (Mrs. Oakleigh) from 1908, is nestled in the picturesque countryside of Dutchess County, New York State, United States. The photograph, taken by renowned American architectural photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1919, captures the beauty and elegance of the estate. The landscape design, which includes an ornamental pond and a bridge, adds to the serene and idyllic setting. The balustrade and lanterns add ornamental features to the exterior of the house, while the colorful gardens provide a vibrant contrast to the neutral tones of the structure. The Thorne estate, which is now part of the historical record, showcases the grandeur and sophistication of American country living in the early 20th century. The image, which is part of the Library of Congress's collection of hand-colored lantern slides from the George Grantham Bain Collection, offers a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of American architecture and gardening. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional architecture and the beauty of the natural world. It invites us to imagine the tranquility and charm of the Thorne estate and the memories that were made there over a century ago.
