Starin's Glen Island, 19th century amusement park in New Rochelle, New York, US
Starin's Glen Island extended across 105 acres of waterfront property, featuring multiple recreational facilities and views of Long Island Sound waters.
Shipping magnate John H. Starin established this entertainment complex in 1881, transforming several small islands into an interconnected resort destination.
The park incorporated elements from five different western cultures, including a German beer garden and a Chinese pagoda for visitors to experience.
