Pines Modern Corporation

Among the many unique facets of fire island Pines is its unmatched mid-century Modern architecture, a legacy of its status as a "safe space and a premier resort for tastemakers in the 1960's and 70's. Aids took a terrible toll on the population here, which in turn led to a "dark age" in which so much history and culture was lost. Pines Modern is a non-profit endeavor dedicated to the rediscovery of all that the Pines has created, particularly its mid-century architectural and cultural heritage. These are assets that, properly nourished, will ensure that the Pines remains a meaningful and relevant destination for generations to come. We cannot bring back a lost generation, but we can preserve their most salient artifacts and the environment in which they flourished.
