Levittown

The First 50 Years

By: Margaret Lundrigan Ferrer,Tova Navarra

When developer Abraham Levitt and his two sons conceived the idea for Levittown in 1946, they were probably unaware of the future impact of their radical concept--to build cellarless, affordable tract housing on Long Island farmland. Levittown became the prototype suburban community that has been mirrored in towns throughout America and around the world. This delightful photographic history chronicles the growth and development of Levittown as returning World War II GIs flocked to it in droves, attracted by the promise of the American Dream of becoming homeowners. Despite criticism of its "stunning conformity," Levittown and its residents thrived as they raised families, started businesses, and created a close-knit community that exists to this day. This enchanting collection of photographs reveals the joys and struggles of Levittown's founders and residents as they carved their niche in American history.

Richmond Town and Lighthouse Hill

By: Margaret Lundrigan Ferrer

Historic Richmond Town, established in 1958 by the Staten Island Historical Society and the City of New York, is a 100-acre historic village. With many carefully-restored sites, the area boasts events, tours, and places to visit. The photographs that make up this fascinating visual history bring to life the rich cultural heritage of this unique area. Like layers of antique paint, years peel back, revealing scenes from a time when things seemed simpler. As we turn the pages, we visit the Voorlezer House, St. Andrews Church, the Lighthouse, the home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art.
