These photos connect to Alice\u2019s community because they represent her living space and where most of her work was done. These photographs effectively capture how the rest of the community and townspeople viewed Alice because of the values of Victorian people at this time who placed immense emphasis on appearance. \u00a0The people at this time made sure to uphold their outward appearance in order to maintain the status quo and appear as though they are upper class. Furthermore, Alice\u2019s estate is in relatively good condition with a well kept property and positive outlook for the townspeople\/ community in the area.<\/p>\n

In regards to what the photos mean to me vs. what they mean to Alice when taking them may be different. I view the photos as Alice being a very well off individual due to size of her estate and the means needed to maintain such a large house with a location right next to the beach and waterfront. In addition, the gates outside of the house tell me that Alice is a person who values her privacy which could be a result of some of her work that is very personal to her in many ways. Alice was a very eccentric woman who pushed social norms in the Victorian Era and challenged many of the ideas surrounding women at this time. On the other hand. Alice may have viewed these photos differently or the same depending on her perspective. Alice may have taken these photos of her estate and gate as a way to capture the home that she grew up in and to keep it as a sentimental piece as her childhood home. Alternatively, Alice may have taken these photos to show people outside of her area when she traveled where she grew up and her origins or just to simply keep it as a memory for wherever the future may take her.<\/p>\n

Overall, the visit to Alice Austen\u2019s house was a great learning experience that taught me a lot about some of the history behind the LGBTQ and gave me insight into some preservation sites in Staten Island. This was a new experience for me because I do not frequently visit this area of NYC and found it very informative to learn more about some of the artichectual history in the city.<\/p>\n
