The architecture of Fire Island was never only built.

It was inherited, repaired, expanded, weathered, remembered, and passed from one family to the next.

The Fire Island Historic House Project is documenting those homes and the stories that give them life.

If your family has photographs, plans, letters, or memories of a historic Fire Island home, we’d love to hear from you.
