Volunteer

"A particularly moving demonstration of citizen volunteers taking on a daunting preservation project and completing it with great style." — National Trust for Historic Preservation

Started on March 31, 1992, the Noble Crew has contributed over $1,000,000 worth of labor and materials to the adaptive reuse of Building D, a former mariners' dormitory of old Sailors' Snug Harbor. The rehabilitation of the 28,500 square-foot National Historic Landmark, built in 1841 and opened in 1844, was the product of over eight years of services and materials.
