Elizabeth Alice Austen House, 2 Hyland Boulevard, Rosebank, Richmond County, NY
Summary
Significance: Although portions of this Staten Island structure reputedly date from around 1700, it did not assume its present appearance until after its purchase by John H. Austen in 1844. The house commands an excellent view of the Verrazano Narrows and New York Harbor. Austen's granddaughter, Elizabeth Alice Austen, an accomplished amateur photographer, lived here from 1867-1945.
