The BEACON BUILDING will host a selection of Scott Lerman’s “Beacon Reimagined” photographs in its courtyard at 427 Main Street. Lerman’s photographs capture more than the iconic buildings that define Beacon’s historic Main Street. They are infused with the spirit and creativity of the extraordinary thoroughfare that connects the community’s past and future.

Beacon, New York, has long been an important crossroads of the Hudson Valley. In turn, a center of brick-, then hat-, then art-making, the role of its buildings has evolved, yet strongly resonates with echoes of the past.

Over the last decade, he has methodically photographed the one-mile length of Beacon’s Main Street—documenting the facades of its most distinguished and ordinary structures. Based on those photographs, this series reveals more than just bricks and mortar.

“Beacon Reimagined” is an interpretation of the history and current lives of the city’s architectural residents. Sometimes broadly, sometimes subtlety.

Exhibition will run for the remainder of 2025.
