  • Chapter 3.6: HISTORIC RESOURCES
    Lower Concourse Rezoning and Related Actions EIS New York City Department of City Planning 3.6 HISTORIC RESOURCES INTRODUCTION The proposed action would not result in significant adverse impacts to archaeological resources; however, it has the potential to result in unmitigated significant adverse impacts to one potentially eligible National Register resource, the North Side Board of Trade, due to potential conversion of the existing structure. Any significant adverse impacts from such a conversion would be unmitigated other than through limited protection under DOB regulations applicable to all buildings located adjacent to construction sites, since this resource is not a designated New York City landmark and has not been calendared for designation. Mitigation could include calendaring the North Side Board of Trade Building for consideration as a New York City Landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission; if this resource was deemed to be landmark eligible, then further protection for redevelopment of this site would be afforded. This chapter assesses the potential effect of the proposed action on historic architectural and archaeological resources. The CEQR Technical Manual identifies historic resources as districts, buildings, structures, sites, and objects of historical, aesthetic, cultural, and archaeological importance. This includes designated NYC Landmarks; properties calendared for consideration as landmarks by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC); properties listed on the State/National Registers of Historic Places (S/NR) or contained within a district listed on or formally determined to be eligible for S/NR listing; properties recommended by the New York State Board for listing on the S/NR; National Historic Landmarks; and properties not identified by one of the programs listed above, but that meet their eligibility requirements.

  • NOONAN PLAZA APARTMENTS, 105-149 West 168Th Street (Aka 1231-1245 Nelson Avenue/ 1232-1244 Ogden Avenue), the Bronx
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 22, 2010, Designation List 430 LP-2400 NOONAN PLAZA APARTMENTS, 105-149 West 168th Street (aka 1231-1245 Nelson Avenue/ 1232-1244 Ogden Avenue), the Bronx. Built 1931, Horace Ginsberg and Marvin Fine, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of the Bronx Tax Map Block 2518, Lot 1. On December 15, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Noonan Plaza Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., the Historic Districts Council, and New York Landmarks Conservancy.1 Summary Noonan Plaza Apartments, in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, is one of the most impressive Art Deco style apartment complexes in the borough. Built in 1931 for Irish-born developer Bernard J. Noonan, it was designed by the firm of Horace Ginsberg, with the exterior credited to Marvin Fine. The prolific Ginsberg and Fine helped to provide the Bronx with one of its architectural signatures, the urban modernist apartment building, including Park Plaza Apartments (1929-31) on Jerome Avenue. Noonan and Ginsberg had previously collaborated on a number of speculative 1920s apartment buildings in Highbridge, prior to Noonan Plaza. Situated on a large sloping site, with frontages along Ogden and Nelson Avenues and West 168th Street, the complex is six-to-eight stories with a sophisticated site plan – it is divided into units with exterior perimeter light courts and an interior garden court, an arrangement that provided for apartment layouts with multiple exposures for maximum light and air.
