On Thursday, June 13, 2024, the Roslyn Landmark Society held a "Window Art Unveiling Ceremony" at the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge on Harbor Hill Road in East Hills to celebrate the completion of the "Mackay Estate Gate Lodge Art Windows Project." This innovative student art project was led by intern Isabella Santos, who enlisted fellow Roslyn High School Art Club students to help create decorative coverings to adorn the Gate Lodge's window openings until its new windows can be installed.
During the ceremony, Jaime Karbowiak (Executive Director, Roslyn Landmark Society), Howard Kroplick (Co-President, Roslyn Landmark Society), Mayor Michael Koblenz (Village of East Hills), and Mitchell Schwartz (Trustee, Roslyn Landmark Society) spoke about the art project, the extraordinary history of the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge, and the public-private partnership between the Roslyn Landmark Society and Village of East Hills to restore the building.
Awards were also presented to Roslyn Landmark Society's 2023 Gardiner Young Scholar, Isabella Santos, and Roslyn High School Art Club scholarship recipient, Hannah Bailey, for the significant roles they played in seeing the project through to successful completion.
