This picture was taken in the Fall of 1930 of a “Jewel Pageant,” an event with International House residents representing their native countries through costume and a display of rough and cut stones.

Recently, from an alum we learned that the Jewel Pageant carried through to the early 2000’s (at least).  As work continues on the I-House Archives,  we anticipate finding more images like this one from throughout the years and being able to share them with the global community.  For more information or to share your stories, please contact cdonadio@ihouse-nyc.org.
