What you'll see:
Spend an afternoon gazing out on a magnificent view of New York Harbor from the back yard of the Museum. Alice Austen was an exceptional woman and photographer. The original house, one of the city’s oldest, dates back to the 1690s but visitors can appreciate the romantic Gothic Revival that has taken place, reminiscent of a quaint "gingerbread" Victorian cottage.
