Catch a glimpse of 19th century life with a tour of the restored Mont Sec House. Mont Sec Avenue is known as Officers’ Row at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, as the eleven houses along the avenue were once the homes of Fort Wadsworth officers and their families. The oldest house, #103, dates back to the 1870s. Houses #111-114 were built around 1890. The rest were built in the 1930s by the Works Progress Administration, which was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal that was designed to help the economy emerge from the ravages of the Great Depression.

The historic house is not wheelchair accessible.
