On display are several photographs of significant features (circa 1880) of St. Paul's School provided by The Garden City Historical Society. Photos include exterior architectural stone work, plus interior features that cannot be reproduced today, such as, Minton floor tile (from England), terracotta tiles that accent the main floor hallways, a stained glass window in the chapel, a typical-era lighting fixture, and the cast iron center hall stair railing (originally produced by a company based in Paterson, NJ). The Historical Society thanks Things and Stuff new owner, Teresa Korszun-Adams, who grew up in Garden City, graduated from Garden City High School and has fond childhood memories of Things and Stuff, for graciously donating use of the window space. Teresa and her store manager, Meghan Donohue, are preparing for a mid-August grand reopening of Things and Stuff, itself a fixture in Garden City.
