Seen on Fishers Island.

Change comes slowly to this quiet enclave of old money.

Connecticut’s feud with New York over ownership took two centuries to resolve. I’m told the only way to acquire land here is to inherit it.

On the other hand, the place has been quite receptive to some forms of advanced thinking over the years… Art Déco fashions in the 1930s, and beach architecture that was decades ahead of the Hamptons.

You’ll still find a certain open-mindedness.
