Villa Roma in Callicoon, New York

by John Margolies

Take a step back into the golden days of the Catskills mountains’ summer getaway through this famous architectural photograph taken by documentarian John Margolies. Shot during the process of his well-known documentation of American roadside and resort life, this photo captures the sunny front facade of the Villa Roma in Callicoon, New York.

Surrounded by a huge shade tree and pristine open fields, the photograph includes relaxing guests outside, old-world architecture with the recognizable “Villa Roma” sign, and the lazy nature of an old 20th-century vacation. This photograph was captured using the trademark style of Margolies in regards to documenting vernacular architecture and featuring mid-century colors. This archivally printed fine art print will be a lesson in nostalgia. Perfect for anyone who appreciates vintage pop culture and mid-century architecture!
