Billiou–Stillwell–Perine House

The Billiou–Stillwell–Perine House is a Dutch Colonial structure and the oldest standing building on Staten Island, New York. History The house was originally built by Pierre Billiou, a Huguenot who arrived at New Amsterdam fleeing religious persecution in Europe in 1661. He founded Oude Dorp (Old Town) in the same year, and subsequently received a land grant on Staten Island, erecting the original stone section of the house around 1662. His daughter Martha (1652–1736) inherited the property and resided there with her husband, Thomas Stillwell (1651–1704/1705), and later with her second husband, Rev. David de Bonrepos (1654–1734), whom she married in 1711. About 1680, Thomas Stillwell, a well-to-do landowner, enlarged the house. The house underwent to additional expansions through 1830. Stillwell and Martha's descendants, the Brittons, owned it until the mid-18th century. It was then acquired in 1758 by Edward Perine, whose family owned it until 1913. The Staten Island Antiquarian Society obtained the Billiou–Stillwell–Perine House in 1915, and the Staten Island Historical Society obtained the house in 1922, following a merger with the Antiquarian Society. The building has a shingled sloping roof, a high jambless fireplace with a large stone hearth, and a ceiling with exceptionally large beams. Owned by Historic Richmond Town, the house is occasionally open to the public on a limited schedule or by appointment. The roof was restored in 2013. In September 2025, the house received a $500,000 grant to pay for repairs.

Maison Billiou-Stillwell-Perine

La maison Billiou-Stillwell-Perine (Perine House) est un édifice colonial néerlandais et le plus ancien bâtiment de Staten Island, à New York. Histoire La maison a été construite à l'origine par Pierre Billiou, un huguenot arrivé à La Nouvelle-Amsterdam fuyant les persécutions religieuses en Europe en 1661. Il fonda Oude Dorp (vieille ville) à Staten Island la même année et reçut par la suite une concession de terre à Staten Island, érigeant la partie originale en pierre de la maison vers 1662. Sa fille Martha (1652-1736) hérita de la propriété et y résida avec son mari, Thomas Stillwell (1651-1704/1705), puis avec son deuxième mari, le révérend David de Bonrepos (1654-1734), qu'elle épousa en 1711. Vers 1680, Thomas Stillwell, un propriétaire foncier aisé, agrandit la maison. Ses descendants et ceux de Martha, les Brittons, en furent propriétaires jusqu'au milieu du XVIIIe siècle. Elle fut ensuite acquise en 1758 par Edward Perine, dont la famille la conserva jusqu'en 1913. Le bâtiment est en bois et pierre avec un toit en pente, une haute cheminée avec un grand foyer en pierre et un plafond avec des poutres exceptionnellement grandes. Propriété de Historic Richmond Town, la maison est occasionnellement ouverte au public ou sur rendez-vous.

Ross Park Zoo

The Ross Park Zoo is a zoo located in Binghamton, New York, United States. The zoo was opened in 1875, making it the 5th oldest zoo in the nation. The zoo (known as the Binghamton Zoo at Ross Park from 2005 to 2020) is open year-round. History The 90 acres (36 ha) of land was donated by Erastus Ross, a wealthy businessman whose only instructions were to build a park that all the community could enjoy. The electric trolleys in the area allowed easy access to the park. Other features of the park included roller coasters, swings, a miniature train, and a carousel. Band concerts were a frequent summer event. Increased use of automobiles let people easily travel outside the city for recreation, this plus the two World Wars and the Great Depression led to the decline of the park. Eventually the USDA was threatening to close the park because of sub-standard exhibits. In 1966, concerned citizens formed the Southern Tier Zoological Society in an attempt to upgrade the facilities. Mr. Ross donated the zoo enough money to run it for many years. He intended it to be free for all guests as well as the carousel that is on the outskirts of the entrance to the zoo. However, the zoo now has a nominal entrance fee. The carousel still remains free of charge to ride. In December 2005, the zoo lost its accreditation with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, "due to turmoil in its previous leadership and finances." Accreditation was successfully regained in 2009, but lost again in 2014. Animals and facilities The zoo currently contains a growing number of animal exhibits, including red pandas, red wolves, a snow leopard, lemurs, an aviary, penguins, Pallas's cats, howler monkeys, binturongs (also known as bearcats, the mascot of the nearby Binghamton University), and many other animals. It is set in a lushly wooded environment. The zoo also contains, outside the entrance of the zoo, a pavilion with areas for barbecuing, a small park, and rest rooms. The old lions den has been freshly renovated and is being used for educational programs with seating "behind bars". The zoo is also a neighbor to the Discovery Center, which is a hands-on children's museum. Events The zoo also holds many annual events and activities. These events include: Courtship Tails, Eggstravaganza, Zoo Brew & Wine Too!, Ice Cream Safari, Feast with the Beasts, Howloween at the Zoo, and Boo at the Zoo.

The Sisters of Saint Joseph were asked to administer and staff the school. In 1973, the Henry Hald Association, which governed diocesan schools was dissolved and the school was purchased by the Sisters of Saint Joseph. It was incorporated and reopened as Bishop Kearney High School which was to be governed by a board of trustees.

Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School

Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School (formerly Mercy High School) was a Roman Catholic high school in Riverhead, New York on Long Island. It was operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre. The Diocese closed the school in 2018. History Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1956, five sisters were sent from their Brooklyn convent to create and staff a co-educational high school on the East End of Long Island to be named Mercy High School. In the first year of operation, there were 47 students, using excess classrooms of the nearby St. John the Evangelist parish. In October 1962, a new building was dedicated by Bishop Walter Kellenberg of the newly formed Diocese of Rockville Centre which still serves as the present building. In 1992, it was decided that a junior high school was to be added to the already ninth through twelfth grades. In 2002, the Diocese of Rockville Centre and the Sisters of Mercy created a partnership to better enhance the needs of the school. In September 2003, the school's name officially changed to Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School, after Bishop John McGann, the Diocese's longtime leader, and the Sisters of Mercy signifying the partnership. The school's numbers swelled over the course of the next five years, following a time when some thought the school might close. The Diocese takeover saved the school from debt. Mr. Carl Semmler was the school's principal at that time. However, the school went on to close at the end of the 2018 school year. Deacon John Hogan served as the school's last principal during the 2017–2018 school year. Mr. Charles Bender continued on as the Dean of Students until the school's closure. Lisa Navarra served as the school's Assistant Principal until the school's closure, and was a former teacher at St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School. On March 12, 2018, the Diocese of Rockville Centre announced the school would close at the end of the 2017–2018 school year. In 2020 The Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation purchased the 24-acre site of the former McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School from the Diocese of Rockville Centre for $14 million. The Buildings Usage was for the hospital’s ongoing need for additional space during the Corona Virus Pandemic. as the hospital continues to evolve into a regional medical center. Performing arts Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School's theatre department was recognized by the Teeny Awards on an annual basis in recent years, both for performances by student actors and the innovation of the director, Bob Kelly.
