Piranhurst, the Bothkin residence in Santa Barbara, is recorded here as a garden subject, which sets it apart from the building and interior views on the board. The caption card does not give a date, so the photograph's exact period is uncertain. Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer who made it, worked for much of the early twentieth century and documented American architecture and gardens, including the Spanish-influenced estates that gave Santa Barbara its reputation. Viewers interested in the setting can look at how the grounds relate to the house and the Mediterranean-style planting common to the region's residences.
