Grenning Gallery To Host Celebration Of Historic Shelter Island Homes

The Grenning Gallery on 17 Washington Street in Sag Harbor will be holding a Celebration of Historic Shelter Island Homes on Saturday, Oct. 11 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.

“Shelter Island has historic homes on the real estate market right now, each with a story to tell and a special place in our Island’s history”, Penelope Moore of Saunders & Associates Shelter Island Real Estate, said. “It seems fitting to introduce paintings, vintage photographs and artifacts that artists have created over the years memorializing these properties at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor.”

Old paintings and photos from Shelter Island artists will are be on display and the properties will be for sale.

A very fine early 19th century painting by Shelter Island’s Walter Cole Brigham depicting The Duvall Homestead at 140 North Ferry Road, Shelter Island will be exhibited.

The Homestead, on 2.7 acres, which includes an original wing dating to before the American Revolution has water views to historic Sylvester Manor, Shelter Island’s first plantation.

The details of this property will be available at the reception.

Vintage photos of the 1880’s farmhouse formerly “The Harbor Inn”, owned by Nik Cohn and Michaela Muntean, will also be on display. Muntean will be present at the event.
