LOST INWOOD
-Special Reserve Edition-
-TUESDAY APRIL 2nd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM
Greetings!
Over the course of fifteen years and over 150 installments of Lost Inwood, we’ve come to expect two questions after each presentation.
1) “How do you pronounce the word Isham?” And
2) “Where do you find all these old photographs?”
This Tuesday we’ll put the Isham question to rest before exploring a vast world of local historic photos, curated largely from private sources. We’ll also hear the incredible backstories of the images, and discuss their miraculous return to the neighborhood.
Please join us Tuesday April 2nd 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.

—The Uptown Images of Street Photographer Percy Sperr–
-TUESDAY OCTOBER 3rd, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM
Hope you all had a great summer. At LOST INWOOD this month we’ll feature a fantastic collection of uptown images taken by street photographer Percy Loomis Sperr. In his heyday of the 1920s and 1930s, Sperr’s output was so prodigious (at least 30,000 images) that he’s been called the “Official Photographer for the City of New York.”
Over the years we’ve managed to acquire a number of Sperr’s original negatives and prints, from High Bridge to Kingsbridge and beyond. On Tuesday Oct 3rd at 7:30PM at INWOOD FARM we’ll see a fantastic, high-resolution selection of Sperr’s masterful work taken around the neighborhood, just as Inwood’s urban footprint was being completed.
So please join us – Tuesday October 3rd 7:30PM at the INWOOD FARM. It’s a free presentation. Reservations are recommended.
