Photos for Friday

Islip Art Museum, Islip, New York

Visited the museum in October.  The grand mansion, with 41 rooms including a ballroom, was Brookwood Hall, built in 1903 by Harry K. Knapp.  What a grand place this must have been on Long Island.  Not too many of these left in good condition, unfortunately.

As a fine artist, I paint, knit, and make jewelry, to figure it all out.

    1. It was a beautiful place to visit. I just read that the ballroom has been renovated and they will be renting it out for events. Thanks for commenting!
