  • East Village/Lower East Side Manhattan the Historic Districts Council Is New York’S Citywide Advocate for Historic Buildings and Neighborhoods
    A GUIDE TO HISTORIC NEW YORK CITY NEIGHBORHOODS EAST VILLAGE/LOWER EAST SIDE 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.

  • Appendix G.1 Historic Resources
    APPENDIX G.1 HISTORIC RESOURCES Appendix G.1: Historic Resources A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This appendix was prepared to support Chapter 9, “Historic Resources.” It provides a description of the regulatory context in which the historic resources assessment was undertaken, as well as a more detailed description of each of the known historic resources identified in Chapter 9. In addition, this appendix also provides information on properties identified as potential historic resources during the assessment process but which the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) subsequently determined were not eligible for listing on the State and National Registers (S/NR) or designation as New York City Landmarks. Information on the assessment methodologies and both construction and permanent impacts is included in Chapter 9. REGULATORY CONTEXT NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT (SECTION 106) Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), as implemented by federal regulations appearing at 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 800, mandates that federal agencies consider the effect of their actions on any properties listed on or determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NR) and that they afford the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings. Federal agency preservation officers, in consultation with the SHPO, must deter- mine whether a proposed action would have any effects on the characteristics of a site that quali- fy it for the State and National Registers. In addition, Section 110 of the NHPA requires federal agencies to undertake planning and actions to minimize harm to properties designated as National Historic Landmarks.

  • Bowery Street, Block 426Llot 12, Manhattan Archaeological Field Investigation I 4/9/06 INTRODUCTION and FIELD METHODOLOGY
    I 70''fM I Iif~b mSTORICAL PERSPECTIVES INC. I I Memorandum: 235 Bowery Street, Block 426lLot 12, Manhattan Archaeological Field Investigation I 4/9/06 INTRODUCTION and FIELD METHODOLOGY The as-of-right construction activities for the New Museum of Contemporary Art at 235 Bowery Street, Manhattan I (Block 426, Lot 12), revealed the presence of human. bone fragments at the eastern end of the construction site on the abutting lot, located at !95-197 Chrystie Street (Figure 1). Construction activities on the adjacent lot were undertaken based on an agreement between the New Museum of Contemporary Art and the owner of 195-197 I Chrystie Street for purposes of foundation support. Construction excavations were halted and the area where the remains were observed was covered and protected from accidental intrusions. Subsequent to communication with, and an on-site visit by, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (NYCLPC), the Museum contacted Historical Perspectives, Inc. (HPJ) for assistance with the archaeological evaluation and professional removal of the bone fragments and associated strata that might be associated with St. Philips Cemetery (195-197 Chrystie Street). Archaeological field testing was planned to determine the nature of the soil strata uncovered between a crude, I partially mortared stone and brick wall (on the 195-197 Chrystie Street parcel) and the eastern edge of the 235 Bowery Street property. An area adjacent to the stone and brick wall, approximately 12.5 meters by 1.5 meters in size, was explored during the field investigation. In order to maintain control over the excavation site, the test area was initially divided into six units (Test Units A-F; Photographs A).

  • Extending the Legacy: GSA Historic Building Stewardship 2008
    EXTENDING THE LEGACY GS A HIS T O R I C B U I L D I N G S TE WARD S HI P | 2 0 0 8 Preface The decade since the Center for Historic Buildings issued its first major publication, Held in Public Trust: PBS Strategy for Using Historic Buildings, has been a watershed period of stewardship achievement for GSA. During this time, GSA has firmly established itself in the forefront of the preservation profession, gaining recognition for the policies and model practices that make preservation integral to our business. GSA greeted the millennium with GSA Historic Building Leasing, a breakthrough report examining how GSA is supporting the reuse of historic buildings nationwide in large and small lease acquisitions, with solutions for tailoring tenant space requirements and marketing to promote agency location in historic buildings and districts. A year later, the Center released a six-volume Preservation Desk Guide featuring dozens of model GSA documents created to meet preservation responsibilities associated with our activities involving historic buildings. GSA’s 00 Legacy Vision took the strategy outlined in Held in Public Trust a step further to promote fiscally prudent use of our historic buildings by establishing architectural merit-based stewardship priorities and outlining specific financial turnaround measures for historic buildings that are not performing well. GSA’s national preservation policy, ADM 100. Procedures for Historic Properties, issued in 00, offered guidance to integrate Sections 106 and 110 into GSA’s daily business, help- ing associates keep historic buildings occupied and generating revenue to support their long-term maintenance, repair, and capital investment needs.

  • Chapter 7: Historic Resources
    Chapter 7: Historic Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential of the proposed actions to affect historic resources, both archaeological and architectural. It has been prepared in accordance with City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) guidelines, which require that City agencies consider the effects of their actions on historic properties. In accordance with CEQR guidelines, this analysis identifies all historic resources that have been designated or determined to meet the eligibility requirements for local, state, or national designation, and it also identifies properties that may meet such eligibility requirements. In assessing potential project effects on historic resources, this analysis follows the guidance of the CEQR Technical Manual. The CEQR Technical Manual recommends that a historic resources assessment be performed if a proposed action would result in any of the following actions: in-ground disturbance; new construction; physical alteration of any building; the change in scale, visual context, or visual setting of any building, structure, object, or landscape feature; or the screening or elimination of publicly accessible views; even if no known historic resources are located nearby. Since the proposed actions are expected to generate some of these results, a full analysis under CEQR was undertaken. As described more fully below, the proposed actions would result in significant adverse impacts on historic resources. There would be direct impacts on 141 sites. With respect to archaeological resources, there would be impacts on 23 potential development sites. The sites are located at 139 East Houston Street, 32-36 East 3rd Street, 28 East 2nd Street, 239 East 3rd Street, 740 East 6th Street, 258-266 East 7th Street, 271 East 7th Street, 349 East 10th Street, 101 East 7th Street, 64 East 3rd Street, 100 East 4th Street, 68 East 7th Street, 73 St.

  • History of Albert's Garden Compiled by Ejay Sims, 2017; Updated 2020
    A History of Albert's Garden Compiled by EJay Sims, 2017; updated 2020 Albert’s Garden at 16 and 18 East 2nd Street is a plot of land originally housing two brownstones that the City of New York reposessed for unpaid taxes. When they were torn down as “unsafe” in 1968, the land was remade into a basketball court but, after a few years, this attempt at neighborhood recreational use failed. 16 E. 2nd St 18 E. 2nd St NYC Municipal Tax Photos 1940s In 1971, founding member Albert Eisenlau, an antiques dealer and local resident who was also involved in the Liz Christy Garden nearby at Bowery and Houston Street, started cleaning up the lot and was joined in this endeavor by other members of the community including founding members Ben Wohlburg and Louise Kruger. They began to turn it into a garden by digging up the asphalt basketball court to make way for planting. Louise found the initial soil for plant support which was donated by a female sculptor friend of hers who had installed it as an earthwork in a gallery. Albert O. Eisenlau, Jr. Louise Kruger Ben Wohlburg 10 E. 2nd St 30 E. 2nd St Bond St. The garden was ultimately named for Albert, as he became a central moving force to help shape it into the present-day fully-realized garden. Lending his expertise by planting many of the garden’s now-mature shrubs, perennials, and trees, Albert was rumored to have brought in dirt, one cup at a time, and started what became the violet section.
