A new exhibit will be featured in the Friends of Historic Kingston Gallery when it opens on Friday, May 4 for the 2012 season.
“Save the Best to Last: The Fred J. Johnston Story,” celebrates the 200th birthday of the circa 1812 historic house at 63 Main Street and the life of the man who rescued it from being razed in 1938 and devoted his life to preserving it. The exhibit also celebrates preservation “success stories” throughout Kingston with a photo display of houses and commercial buildings that received Annual Preservation Awards from the Friends of Historic Kingston throughout the years. Friends of Historic Kingston board member and artist Ken Gray created the exhibit. Admission to the gallery exhibit is free.
The exhibit features photos from Mr. Johnston’s personal collection that chronicle his rise from selling antiques at age 17 from the family’s garage in St. Remy to becoming an antiques dealer of national stature who used the historic house at 63 Main Street as both his home and showroom. The eight elegant room settings he designed to display his collection can be viewed on house tours offered by the Friends of Historic Kingston to whom it was left by Mr. Johnston when he died in 1993. However, the new exhibit offers the public a first-time view of objects from the attic and basement which cannot be accessed on regular house tours.
The exhibit also pays homage to the builder of the c.1812 Federal style house, John Sudam, a prominent attorney, New York State Senator and Regent. A large portrait of Sudam painted by John Vanderlyn, Jr. has been loaned to the exhibit by SUNY Ulster.
New visitation hours for the Friends of Historic Kingston Gallery and the Fred J. Johnston House for 2012 will be Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays by appointment. The new gallery exhibit, which is free, can be viewed through October 27. Guided Johnston House tours are $5 per adult; $2, child under 16. The Friends of Historic Kingston Gallery and the Fred J. Johnston House are located on the corner of Wall-Main Streets in the Stockade District of uptown Kingston. For more information, call (845) 339-0720 or visit www.fohk.org.
