Everyone likes a peek behind closed doors. Here on Governors Island, we have increased the opportunities to see inside our historic buildings every year. This year, you can get a look inside many of the charming yellow wood frame houses of Nolan Park and the red brick Colonel’s Row and elsewhere by visiting an array of Arts Programming. There’s Children’s Museum of the Arts, ETSY & Photography in the Admirals House, No Longer Empty the 6th Borough, the 4 Heads and the Architectural League (Check the GIPEC website for programming specifics each weekend) among others. These glimpses of building interiors, not to mention unique programming, are lots of fun but what they don’t give you is a peek into what these houses were like when they were occupied by year round residents. Here’s your chance. Enjoy the collection below and check out Governors Island, 1982 style. [caption id=“attachment_3487” align=“aligncenter” width=“300” caption=“Admirals Quarters, Living Room”]
