Antonius’s Statement

Creativity is the ability to connect
Nawal Al Saadawi

My hope is that you, the visitor, will be able to connect with Hillside House as it is now and with the history contained within its walls offering us its glimpse into the past.

Our past is the thread that joins us to our present and builds our future.  The collective consciousness of all those who contributed to this project sensed the importance of restoring this old house that has its own role in the history of Cumberland Street and the evolvement of the City of Nassau.

It has always been a driving force in my work and my life to reclaim, restore and preserve whatever nature and time allows us to find and I have been fortunate to be able to do this in many different locations.
