Bian- chi, Christine Kwarren, Laurie Wager, Stacey Wager-Pacuk, Adrian Wager- Zito and Jody Wager, as well as his nine grandchildren, his brother, Stanley, and several nieces and nephews; and WHEREAS, Armed with a humanistic spirit, imbued with a sense of compassion, and comforted by a loving family, Julian Wager leaves behind a legacy which will long endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all he served and befriended; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to mourn the death of Julian Wager, distinguished citizen and devoted member of his community; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran- smitted to the family of Julian Wager..

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Contents From the President From the President 2 Dear Friend of the Conservancy: Speaking Out for Preservation 3 The New York Landmarks Conservancy joined in the citywide celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the City’s Landmarks Law this year. Ironically, while panels, exhibitions and award celebrations hailed the Law’s achievements and contributions, significant threats to preservation emerged. Providing Technical Expertise 15 The Conservancy contributed to the celebrations with a panel at the Morgan Library in May that decided New York has room for both preservation and development. Later that month, our Sacred Sites Open House Preserving Sacred Sites 23 Weekend brought some 3,000 people into historic houses of worship. Our Chairman’s Luncheon honored the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for restoring and incorporat- Funding Historic Properties 31 ing the historic Corbin Building into the new Fulton Transit Center in Lower Manhattan. We also honored architect Robert A.M. Stern for his leadership on issues ranging from designating more modern buildings, Assisting Nonprofits and the Public Sector 35 to protecting the landmark Four Seasons Restaurant from inappropriate alterations; and for his encyclope- dic series of books on one hundred years of the City’s architecture. In December, we held a dinner honoring former early board member James Wolfensohn for his key role in the Conservancy’s first project: finding a Honoring Excellence 37 new use for the former U.S. Custom House on Bowling Green. On the other hand, it took a concerted effort by Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, the Conservancy, Celebrating Living Landmarks 40 and our colleague groups, to convince the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) not to toss out 95 buildings and sites the Commission had let linger on the books without a decision.

  • Astoria, Queens
    Astoria, Queens could see across the East River the new Long Island vil- lage named in his honor. Astor, however, never actually set foot in Astoria. During the second half of the 19th century, economic and commercial growth brought increased immigration from German settlers, mostly furniture and cabinet mak- ers. One such settler was Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg, patriarch of the Steinway family who founded the pi- ano company Steinway & Sons in 1853, which today is a worldwide piano company. Later on the Steinways built a sawmill and foundry, as well as a streetcar line. The family eventually established Steinway Village for their workers, a company town that provided school instruc- tion in German as well as English.[6] Astoria and several other surrounding villages, includ- ing Steinway, were incorporated into Long Island City in Location of Astoria in New York City 1870. Long Island City remained an independent munic- ipality until it was incorporated into New York City in Astoria is a middle-class and commercial neighborhood 1898. The area’s farms were turned into housing tracts with a population of 154,000[2] in the northwestern cor- and street grids to accommodate the growing number of ner of the New York City borough of Queens.

There seems to be this alternative: Either to go on as best we can to the bitter ends - Jails, Institution, or Death - or find a new way to live. In years gone by, very few addicts had this last choice. Those who are addicted today are more fortunate.
