Elinor and her husband Robert McDade moved to Sag Harbor, New York and bought the former Provisions store at the corner of Henry and Division streets. Here they took the old local name of the neighborhood and opened the “Goat Alley Gallery.” For the next 23 years it was part of the East End art scene. The Gallery’s annual “725” show for artists with Sag Harbor phone numbers was a popular annual summer event.
