Considered one of the most unusual examples of garden architecture in America, the Milliken-Bevin Trellis was designed by the architectural partnership of Henry O. Milliken and Newton P. Bevin in 1931. This delicate piece has become the focal point of a collaborative effort between the Roslyn Landmark Society and the Nassau County Museum of Art.
After a recent stroll through the grounds of the Nassau County Museum of Art, John Santos (co-president and trustee of the Roslyn Landmark Society), noticed some of the stabilizing slats of the trellis were failing due to environmental exposure. Deputy Director of the Museum, Fernanda Bennett, made the necessary arrangements and brought in Island Contracting who donated their services to stabilize the structure.
While a more permanent solution may be on the horizon, the recent repairs to the Milliken-Bevin Trellis have ensured it can weather the upcoming storms.
