In December 2023, the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation awarded the Roslyn Landmark Society generous grant funding for the restoration of the historic Mackay Estate Gate Lodge’s windows and doors. While this important work is underway, the Gate Lodge's window and door openings have been temporarily covered with plywood.
Also in the interim, Roslyn Landmark Society’s Gardiner Young Scholars intern, Isabella Santos, spearheaded a collaborative "Mackay Estate Gate Lodge Art Windows Project." Isabella enlisted the assistance of other Roslyn High School Art Club students throughout the 2023-2024 school year to create decorative window coverings to be placed over the plywood until the newly fabricated windows can be installed in fall 2024.
Please join us on Thursday, June 13 at 3:30 PM at the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge on Harbor Hill Road in East Hills to celebrate the completion of this innovative student art project during a "Window Art Unveiling Ceremony."
During the event, representatives from the Roslyn Landmark Society, Village of East Hills, and Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation will recognize the students' exceptional work to create temporary art panels for the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge windows over the course of the school year and present awards to a student scholarship recipient and Roslyn Landmark Society's 2023 Gardiner Young Scholar.
