| | Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island, NYC, USA |
 | | Snug Harbor is a cultural center set within an 83-acre National Historic Landmark containing the finest collection of Greek Revival buildings in the United States, plus Beaux Arts, Italianate and Victorian style architecture. |
 | | Snug Harbor exists today because of the tireless efforts of citizens to save it from destruction a generation ago, and then to transform the deteriorated buildings of a seamen's retirement home into a center for the arts. |
 | | When Sailors' Snug Harbor opened in 1833, it was the first maritime home and hospital for retired seamen in the United States, a privately endowed institution where old sailors were offered lodging, food, healthcare, and companionship. |
