The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were 5 speakers in favor of designation, including the owner of the building, the owner’s architect, City Council Member Rosie Mendez, representatives of Lower East Side Preservation Initiative, Historic Districts Council and the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation.

LESTER, ESQ. for the Petition herein, allege as follows: PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. This proceeding concerns the fate of 45-51 Park Place in Manhattan (“the Building”), an iconic structure that symbolizes American capitalism and perseverance in the face of terrorism. 2. The Building, which connects two structures, 45-47 Park Place and 49-51 Park Place, survived a direct hit on September 11, 2001 and is part of the area now known as Ground Zero, less than three blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center. 3. The Building faces imminent demolition, as the land use process of New York City threatens to do what terrorists failed to accomplish and destroy a building that has been under consideration for landmark status for over twenty (20) years. 1 4. During that time, upon information and belief, the preservation community as well as the local Manhattan Community Board #1 (the “CB”) have advocated and beseeched the New York City Landmarks Commission (the “LPC”) to consider

  • Tribeca Was Originally Developed in the Early 19Th Century As a Residential Neighborhood Close to the City’S Center in Lower Manhattan
    A GUIDE TO HISTORIC NEW YORK CITY NEIGHBORHOODS T RIBECA ManhaTTan The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach pres- ervation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces—are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. Six to Celebrate is generously supported by The New York Community Trust. Additional support for Six to Celebrate is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and by public funds from the New York City Depart- ment of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York City Councilmembers Margaret Chin, Inez Dickens, Daniel Garodnick, Vincent Gentile, Sara Gonzalez, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.

  • In Defense of Preservation
    In Defense of Preservation Eric W. Allison Dorothy Minor Anthony C. Wood Jeffrey A. Kroessler, Moderator The Gotham History Festival CUNY Graduate School October 6, 2001 2 Dedicated to the memory of Dorothy M. Minor 3 Introduction This is the transcript of a panel from the first (and to date only) Gotham History Festival, held at the CUNY Graduate Center in October 2001. As a historian and longtime preservationist, I came to realize that few individuals wore both hats simultaneously. I also noticed that only rarely did conferences on local history, planning history, or urban history include discussions of historic preservation. Further, some academics were opposed to preservation in principle, linking it with such slippery concepts as gentrification, affordable housing, and cultural hegemony, even where such arguments had little connection to the realities of preservation. For those reasons I organized this panel, bringing together individuals who had extensive knowledge and experience in the field. Although thirteen years have passed, this discussion still resonates. Indeed, the arguments and examples in this discussion remain relevant, and that the preservation community continues to address many of the same issues we were confronting then. Then as now, the designation process involves more than simply evaluating sites on the merits. If that were so, then St. Savior’s Church, the 1840s country Gothic chapel by Richard Upjohn, would still be standing on its original site in Maspeth instead of dismantled and awaiting reconstruction somewhere, and 2 Columbus Circle would have had a public hearing. There are many more examples from across the five boroughs. At every step of the landmarking process, political and economic interests intrude, and along the way all sorts of irrelevant arguments against preservation – and preservationists – distract from the central question: is this site worthy of designation? What is encouraging is that preservation is no longer a bastard child of land use regulation in New York City.
