EDITORS COMMENTS
Uplands," located at 400 Uplands Drive in Hillsborough, California, is a breathtaking neoclassical mansion built between 1913 and 1915, designed by the renowned architect Willis Jefferson Polk. The estate, which sits on 160 acres of land, was commissioned by Charles Templeton Crocker, a prominent businessman and politician. This exquisite image, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1917, showcases the grandeur of the house and its stunning surroundings. Johnston, a prominent American photographer and architectural record-keeper, expertly captured the essence of "Uplands" through her hand-coloured lantern slide. The mansion's stately facade, with its grand columns and intricate detailing, stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush, rolling hills of California. The meticulously designed gardens, featuring a serene pond and pool, add to the estate's idyllic beauty. Polk's masterful landscape design is evident in the carefully planned arrangement of trees, shrubs, and flowers, which frame the house and create a sense of harmony between the built environment and the natural surroundings. The use of neoclassical elements, such as the columns and the urns, adds to the timeless elegance of the estate. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the past, offering a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the early 20th century. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the historical record of American architecture and garden design.
