35
Years of citizen action to protect and preserve the historic structures,
residential
character
and quality of life in the Village of East Hampton

The Village Preservation
Society (VPS) was formed in 1982 in response to an attempt by then
Village government to demolish
the Gardiner Brown House in order to expand the Reutershan parking
lot.
This event sparked the organization of a group of concerned Village residents who recognized the need to protect historic structures, open space and quality of life in the Village of East Hampton. The Village Preservation Society not only saved the Gardiner Brown House from demolition, but brokered the deal which enabled the Ladies Village Improvement Society (a different organization) to make its permanent home in that historic building. Please check our Projects page for more about our outreach and preservation work. |
