Alice Austen House, Dutch Colonial Revival house in Rosebank, Staten Island, United States.
The Alice Austen House stands at 2 Hylan Boulevard, featuring white wooden walls, multiple windows, and a waterfront location on New York Harbor.
Built in 1690 as a single-room dwelling for the Johnson brothers, the house underwent major renovations when John Haggerty Austen purchased it in 1844.
Alice Austen produced over 8,000 photographs in this house, documenting New York immigrant communities and Victorian social activities through her lens.
The museum displays rotating exhibitions of Austen's photographs, operates year-round, and participates in the Smithsonian Museum Day events.
Alice Austen lived here with her partner Gertrude Tate for 30 years until 1945, when the stock market crash forced them to leave their residence.
