Past/Present by Bruce Katz

Past / Present is photographer Bruce Katz’s exploration of the original property of the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest surviving house and a historic site that has witnessed the evolution of American life from 1765 to the present. Photographs presented in this exhibition document the complex history of the original 130-acre property in Washington Heights that today spans fifty modern city blocks and trace the area’s development from farmland to an urban environment.
