Island Archives: Look­ing over the Island, again.

Feb 6, 2013 9:54 pm
Are you just join­ing us on our aer­i­al tour of Gov­er­nors Island in 1938? Here we are giv­en a view of the Parade Grounds and the back of Colonels Row from the top of St. Cor­nelius Chapel, built in 1905. Note that the quad­ran­gle in Ft. Jay was paint­ed white (or pale yel­low) like most of the old­est brick build­ings on Gov­er­nors Island. The 16th infantry is in review on the Parade Grounds, watched by a small crowd of onlook­ers and, ten­nis courts are in the fore­ground. Nice island! panorama two 1938-2
