  • Icp Focuses on Its Future Signs Deal with Delancey Street Associates to House Its Museum and School at Essex Crossing
    MEDIA RELEASE ICP FOCUSES ON ITS FUTURE SIGNS DEAL WITH DELANCEY STREET ASSOCIATES TO HOUSE ITS MUSEUM AND SCHOOL AT ESSEX CROSSING Lower East Side Unification Slated for Completion in 2019 NEW YORK, NY (OCTOBER 2017) – The International Center of Photography (ICP), the world’s leading institution dedicated to photography and visual culture, today revealed its plans to reunite the ICP Museum and ICP School in one location on the Lower East Side. The center will be housed on Ludlow Street and will serve as the cultural anchor of Essex Crossing, a $1.5 billion mixed-use project. Essex Crossing is being developed by Delancey Street Associates, which comprises Taconic Investment Partners, BFC Partners, and L+M Development Partners. The ICP School, which serves more than 3,500 students each year, will make the move downtown in summer 2019. The ICP Museum will also shift from its current space at 250 Bowery to Essex Crossing in early 2019, following the close of its fall 2018 exhibition program. “We are thrilled to be reuniting the ICP Museum and the ICP School under one roof. This is something towards which we’ve been working for nearly twenty years,” says ICP Board President Jeffrey Rosen and ICP Board Chair Caryl Englander. “It’s gratifying to bring this exciting goal to fruition.” “ICP is that rare institution in today’s cultural landscape—we exhibit, we collect, and we educate. Thanks to the vision and support of our board, the synergy between these different elements of our mission and our identity will be strengthened by this move,” says ICP Executive Director Mark Lubell.

When it opened in September of 1887 it was an experiment, a response to the immigrants’desire to practice Orthodox Judaism, and to do so in America, their new Promised Land. Today the Eldridge Street Synagogue is Tthe only building on the Lower East Side—once the largest Jewish city in the world—earmarked for broad and public exploration of the American Jewish experience. The Museum at Eldridge Street researches the history of the building, uncovering new ways and stories to bring the building and its history to life. Learning about the congregants and their history ties us to broader trends on the Lower East Side and in American history. To help explore these trends, the Museum at Eldridge Street asks leading scholars to lend their expertise.

  • New York's Mulberry Street and the Redefinition of the Italian
    FRUNZA, BOGDANA SIMINA., M.S. Streetscape and Ethnicity: New York’s Mulberry Street and the Redefinition of the Italian American Ethnic Identity. (2008) Directed by Prof. Jo R. Leimenstoll. 161 pp. The current research looked at ways in which the built environment of an ethnic enclave contributes to the definition and redefinition of the ethnic identity of its inhabitants. Assuming a dynamic component of the built environment, the study advanced the idea of the streetscape as an active agent of change in the definition and redefinition of ethnic identity. Throughout a century of existence, Little Italy – New York’s most prominent Italian enclave – changed its demographics, appearance and significance; these changes resonated with changes in the ethnic identity of its inhabitants. From its beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century until the present, Little Italy’s Mulberry Street has maintained its privileged status as the core of the enclave, but changed its symbolic role radically. Over three generations of Italian immigrants, Mulberry Street changed its role from a space of trade to a space of leisure, from a place of providing to a place of consuming, and from a social arena to a tourist tract. The photographic analysis employed in this study revealed that changes in the streetscape of Mulberry Street connected with changes in the ethnic identity of its inhabitants, from regional Southern Italian to Italian American. Moreover, the photographic evidence demonstrates the active role of the street in the permanent redefinition of

    Landmarks Preservation Commission February 9, 2010, Designation List 426 LP-2350 143 ALLEN STREET HOUSE, 143 Allen Street, Manhattan Built c. 1830-31 Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 415, Lot 23. On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the 143 Allen Street House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 6). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including a shareholder in the property and representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the Society for the Architecture of the City. Summary The Federal style row house at 143 Allen Street was constructed c. 1830-31 as a speculative investment by George Sutton, a ship captain and counting house merchant. Originally part of a group of six similar residences, it is located in the heart of what is now known as Manhattan’s Lower East Side on land that was once part of the vast country estate of James De Lancey. The area developed rapidly following the turn of the 19th century and by the 1830s had become a bustling neighborhood composed in large part of brick and brick- fronted Federal style row houses. George Sutton had established himself in the early 19th century as a captain sailing the coastal trade route between New York City and Charleston, South Carolina. He eventually became ship master in the New- York and Charleston Packet Line, and later an agent and merchant working in a counting house on the East River waterfront.
