AGS COUNCIL VISITS BORICUA COLLEGE, JUNE 30, 2007


In Spring 1911, the AGS moved its headquarters to Broadway at 156th Street, into a new building designed by Charles Pratt Huntingdon (1871-1919). In the early 1970s, Boricua College moved into the building after the AGS had relocated downtown. On Saturday June 30, 2007, the AGS Council convened its annual summer meeting in the first floor conference room of Boricua College on Broadway, returning to the AGS's roots. The following images highlight that visit:
