Event Registration

Lace up your walking shoes, pack your camera and join the Alice Austen House for a 90-minute photowalk through Rosebank, one of Staten Island's most historic neighborhoods, in the spirit of Alice Austen — pioneering photographer, Staten Island native, and one of New York's great street observers. Starting at her landmark waterfront home, Clear Comfort, we'll meander down Buono Beach, then follow quaint back streets to the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, and finish at the hidden folk art masterpiece of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Grotto. Along the way, we'll explore how this immigrant community built, saved, and shaped its neighborhood from the ground up — the very idea at the heart of Jane Jacobs’ legacy.

*Polaroid cameras and film will be available for rental and purchase from the Alice Austen House Museum prior to the walk start.
