Many thanks to all who made our Annual Benefit on June 28, 2019, a huge success! Benefit attendees enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and the sounds of live jazz music in a beautiful garden setting. The evening included tours of Woodside house by principals from Ferguson and Shamamian Architects, the firm responsible for the restoration of this historic residence, originally designed by Benjamin Wistar Morris. Guests received updates about the work of Preservation Long Island from our President, Daniel W. White, and Executive Director, Alexandra Parsons Wolfe. Those in attendance were the first to hear about our recent grant awards including funding from the New York State Council on the Arts in support of our 2019 Endangered Historic Places Program.
