About Donald and Eunice “Skid” Moffett;

Donald and Skid were a married creative couple who lived at 249 West 15th Street from the late 1950s to the late 1960s and it put them in the center of it all. They were active participants, not just mere onlookers in the post-World War II, downtown New York scene. This was a trailblazing phase of American mid-century art, music, and politics.

History often leaves us with more about the era than the people who made it memorable. There are countless names we who contributed their ideas, spirit, company, support and mere presence to witness to what would become the story of great moments that paved the way to the story we now know.

Part of Eunice and Don’s story is that we’ll never know the full story.

Here is a small part of a life left behind by two creatives who lived and led a life that appears enviable to any person prone to the timeless seduction of being a part of New York’s creative culture.
