ISLAND ARCHIVES: A Bi-Week­ly Look at Gov­er­nors Islands Pic­turesque Past

Sneak Peak

 

Pho­tos: Library of Congress

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.
