At that time, public transportation to the Upper West Side consisted of the Ninth Avenue Elevated, which went up Columbus Avenue, and streetcar lines on Central Park West, Amsterdam Avenue, and Broadway. Te advent of the subway, which opened in 1904, raised land values all along its route. Builders turned to higher-rise apartment houses, preferably on large corner sites.

Foley Road turned back the clock with pop, rock, and folk hits from past decades; jazz guitarist Joe Giglio mixed original compositions with standards; Shailah and the Shaylettes revived the greatest Motown hits, including “Stop in the Name of Love,” which inspired an ad hoc army of Diana Ross fans to recreate their idol’s memorable choreography. As the musical program drew to a close, a crowd gathered around the stage for the rafe drawing. Hundreds held their breath and listened to the announcement of the frst-prize winner, Gerald Foreman, who received $1,483, which represents half of total rafe sales. Ursula Strauss, winner of the $100 second prize, and Sophie Rifin, winner of the $50 third prize, donated their winnings to the Block Association. By the end of the day, the weather, the vendors, and the crowds of neighbors had raised close to $7,000 to keep our neighborhood safe, welcoming, and beautiful. • Photos from l. to r.: Jon Smith, Barbara Boynton (2), Larry Stern.

  • MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT Actions: Calendared September 13, 2016; Item to Be Heard on December 6, 2016
    PROPOSED MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT Actions: Calendared September 13, 2016; Item to Be Heard on December 6, 2016 The proposed Morningside Heights Historic District consists of approximately 115 buildings in an area stretching from West 109th Street to West 119th Street, Riverside Drive to Amsterdam Avenue. The proposed district is a remarkable reflection of the rapid residential development that took place in Morningside Heights in the first decades of the 20th century. That development history resulted in a cohesive residential district that is comprised primarily of apartment and flats buildings, along with a smaller number of rowhouses that represent the district’s earliest development. Throughout most of the 19th century, Morningside Heights remained largely undeveloped except for scattered estates and clusters of mid-century frame houses clustered around West 110th Street (later renamed Cathedral Parkway) and modern-day Broadway. Three factors contributed to the area’s delayed development – its location on an elevated plateau bordered by rugged cliffs; the presence of two large institutions: the Leake and Watts Orphan Asylum (1843) and New York Hospital’s Bloomingdale Insane Asylum (1821) and the lack of public transportation. With the sale and closure of the orphanage and asylum in the 1890s, the large tracts of land were purchased and developed by a number of significant institutions, eventually leading to the larger Morningside Heights neighborhood being known as the “Acropolis” of New York. Like much of the Upper West Side, the earliest residential development in the proposed district includes private town houses such as 625-627 West 113th Street (1897-98, C. P.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 6, 2006, Designation List 375 LP-2198 CLAREMONT THEATER BUILDING, 3320-3338 Broadway (aka 536-540 West 135th Street), Manhattan. Built 1913-14; Gaetano Ajello, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1988/1, in part, consisting of the property on which the 1913-14 structure is located. On May 16, 2006 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Claremont Theater Building (Item No. 6). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Four witnesses spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council, the Municipal Art Society, Place Matters, and the Society for the Architecture of the City. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. The Commission also received letters in support of designation from City Council member Robert Jackson and Community Board 9 Manhattan. Summary The Claremont Theater building is one of the oldest structures in New York City planned specifically to exhibit motion pictures, originally called “photoplays.” Located in north Manhattanville, at the southeast corner of Broadway and 135th Street, the theater opened in November 1914. Commissioned by Arlington C. Hall and Harvey M. Hall of the Wayside Realty Company, it was designed in the neo-Renaissance style by Gaetano Ajello, an architect best-known for apartment buildings on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The building has three distinct fronts, including a clipped corner façade where the auditorium’s entrance was originally located. This distinctive arrangement enhanced the theater’s visibility and increased the amount of retail space.

Los seis ganadores, escogidos de solicitudes presentadas por organizaciones comunitarias, son elegidos tomando como base el mérito arquitectural e histórico del área, el nivel de amenazas al vecindario, la fuerza y disposición de los defensores locales y el potencial para que el apoyo para la preservación del HDC sea significativo. El HDC trabaja con estos socios del vecindario para crear y cumplir metas de conservación a través de la planificación estratégica, la defensa, el compromiso con la comunidad, los programas y la publicidad. La convicción central del Historic Districts Council es que la conservación y la mejora de los recursos históricos de la ciudad de Nueva York -sus vecindarios, edificios, parques y espacios pú- blicos- son esenciales para el éxito continuo de la ciudad. El Historic Districts Council trabaja para garantizar la conservación de estos recursos, defender la Ley de Monumentos Históricos de la ciudad de Nueva York y promover la ética de la conservación.

  • Manhattan the Historic Districts Council Is New York’S Citywide Advocate for Historic Buildings and Neighborhoods
    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods Morningside HeigHts 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, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.
