Snug Harbor Cultural Center (New York City)

Opened in 1833, it was the first maritime home and hospital for retired seamen in the United States. A National Historic Landmark considered "a rare surviving example of urban planning, landscaping, and buildings in the Greek Revival style, unequaled in the United States for scale, extent, and quality." The area houses Snug Harbor Cultural Center's own Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, a Music Hall, the Art Lab Art School, the Staten Island Botanical Garden, the Staten Island Children's Museum and the Noble Maritime Collection.
