EDITORS COMMENTS
Uplands," located at 400 Uplands Drive in Hillsborough, California, is a stunning neoclassical mansion built between 1913 and 1915 for Charles Templeton Crocker. Designed by renowned architect Willis Jefferson Polk, this magnificent residence sits on 160 acres of land and showcases exquisite landscape gardening. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer and architectural recordist, captured this breathtaking image of "Uplands" in 1917. The hand-coloured lantern slide depicts the grand facade of the house, adorned with classical columns and a beautiful portico. The meticulously manicured gardens, complete with a pond and a pool, add to the serene beauty of the estate. The mansion's neoclassical design is evident in its symmetrical layout, grand columns, and intricate detailing. The large windows allow ample natural light to filter in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The surrounding gardens, designed by the same architect, complement the house's grandeur with their lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and thoughtful arrangement. Charles Templeton Crocker, a prominent businessman and politician, was a significant figure in California's history. This magnificent estate, now a cherished piece of American heritage, stands as a testament to his wealth, power, and taste. The image, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, provides a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the early 20th century American country life. This hand-coloured lantern slide, a piece of art in itself, is a valuable addition to any collection of American architecture, landscape photography, or historical records. It invites us to explore the rich history and beauty of "Uplands" and the legacy of its esteemed residents.
