1970’s. Dancing the Disco dance…
The 1970’s were the golden era of the Pines as it became a mecca for everything beautiful. Models, Art, Disco Music,and Fashion.
The Tea Dance
had grown, and become the place to be on Fire Island, and with that the Pines became a destination.
Disco music
had taken over. Many from the music industry were coming to the Pines as it became a Gay cultural centerpiece.
The worlds of Art, Design, Fashion, and Music had found the Pines as people like Robert Maplethorpe, Calvin Klein, Egon VonFurstenberg, Paul Jabara, and more were finding the party and inspiration of the Pines intoxicating. The homes were growing into castles in the sand as noted architects like Horace Gifford, Earl Combs, and more were using the Pines as their canvas.
