After a devastating flood destroyed Andrew Sheinman and his daughter's beloved family home on Shelter Island, they embarked on a deep reflection about its significance. Their property, which chronicles decades of family memories and milestones, transitioned from modest beginnings to a quintessential haven. Andrew recollects their humble roots, including early vacations in a caravan and the evolution of their residence. With the home now lost, the Sheinmans face not just a physical displacement but a profound emotional loss tied to cherished family moments.
"It was a very low-rent situation for necessary reasons... But fortunately for us, life changed quite nicely and we progressed from caravan to a little Sears Roebuck house."
"It feels very much like our safe haven... we used to have bake sales on this corner of the street."
"Most people think—which is the greatest compliment—looks like an old house."
"A biblical flood... destroyed the entire home and most of our memories."
