Historic House, Photo Gallery, Best Views of and in New York, at Alice Austen House Museum
The Alice Austen House Museum promotes public awareness and scholarly study of the life, work, and times of Alice Austen (1866 - 1952). Austen was one of America's earliest and most prolific female photographers (producing images as early as 1878), a landscape designer (founder and first president of the Staten Island Garden Club), a master tennis player, and the first woman on Staten Island to own a car, which she knew how to fix when it broke down. Austen never married; instead she spent fifty years of her life with Gertrude Tate, her long-time companion. A rebel, Austen broke away from the ties of her Victorian environment to create her own independent life.
Today House sits right on the water with a view that stretches from the Statue of Liberty, Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Verrazano Bridge, and Coney Island.
