  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

  • 1748-54 Jerome Avenue, Bronx, Ny
    1748-54 JEROME AVENUE, BRONX, N.Y. (CORNER OF EAST 175 ST.) On August 21, 1988, the weather was warm and sunny. In the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) in the Bronx, routine tasks were being conducted and Multi-Unit Drills were taking place. At 1748 Jerome Avenue in the Bronx, a single story taxpayer stood at the corner of E. 175 Street. The building was 50 feet x 100 feet. The building contained six stores, four fronting on Jerome Avenue, and two fronting on East 175 Street. In the cellar of this building, there was an illegal social club called “El Hoyo” (aka: “The Cave” or “The Hole”). The only entrance to this illegal club was off of the Jerome Avenue side. There was a stairway approximately 10 feet from the front of the building. The stairway entrance was flush with the floor and the wooden stairway was steep. Inside the club in the cellar, the ceiling was low (7 feet). There were candles burning in the club. There was a bar towards the front of the occupancy. There was no sprinkler system, automatic alarms or fire extinguishers in the social club. There was no emergency lighting. Photo courtesy of Steven Spak There was a confiscated salad oil bottle filled with gasoline that a patron brought to the club a week before. A Bouncer searched a man attempting to enter the club with the container on his person. The Bouncer found the container, and then ejected the patron. The Bouncer kept the container filled with gasoline. It was being stored behind the bar.

    New York’s best public art installations this season Get outside to check out some of the best art in New York City this fall By Ameena Walker and Valeria Ricciulli Updated Sep 5, 2019, 11:56am EDT Fall is almost here, and with that comes the arrival of dozens of new temporary public art installations, which enliven the urban landscape with abstract pieces, selfie-worthy moments, and more. Here, we’ve collected more than a dozen worth scouting in the next few months; as more cool projects come to light, we’ll update the map—and as always, if you know of anything that we may have missed, let us know in the comments. 1. Carmen Herrera: “Estructuras Monumentales” Broadway & Chambers St New York, NY 10007 (212) 639-9675 Visit Website In City Hall Park, Cuban-born artist Carmen Herrera presents “Estructuras Monumentales,” a set of large-scale monochromatic sculptures that “create a distinctive and iconic clarity by emphasizing what she sees as ‘the beauty of the straight line,’” according to the installation description. Curated by the Public Art Fund, the installation will be on view until November 8, 2019. OPEN IN GOOGLE MAPS 2. Leonardo Drew: “City in the Grass” 11 Madison Ave New York, NY 10010 (212) 520-7600 Visit Website On view in Madison Square Park until December 15, “City in the Grass” by Leonardo Drew is a more than 100-foot-long installation featuring a view of an abstract cityscape on top of a patterned surface that resembles Persian carpet design. The installation invites visitor to walk on its surface and brings together “domestic and urban motifs” that reflect the artist’s interest in global design and East Asian decorative traditions, the description says.
