Thomas & Mary Nimmo Moran Studio

Introduction

In 1884, the great American landscape painter Thomas Moran and his wife, Mary Nimmo Moran, a celebrated printmaker, and their children moved into their new studio and house that Moran himself designed on Main Street in East Hampton. The Studio, as it has been known since the Moran family first occupied it, comprises Thomas Moran’s studio and the rooms they lived in, as well as the gardens and outbuildings. The Moran Studio has been described as a “quirky, Queen anne style-studio cottage.” The Moran Studio was the first artist’s studio built in East Hampton and it played a significant role in American art history. In its heyday, The Studio was a lively center of the turn-of-the-19th-century art colony.

Overlooking the Village Green and Town Pond, the property offers one of the most distinguished vistas on Long Island’s East End and serves as the gateway to East Hampton’s Main Street Historic District. In 1965, the Thomas Moran Studio became one of the first National Historic Landmarks in America, and starting in 2013, it underwent a meticulous five-year restoration project and opened its doors to the public in July 2018.

The Studio is now a member of the Historic Artists' Homes and Studios program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
