147 EIGHTH AVENUE HOUSE, Manhattan Built C
Landmarks Preservation Commission November 17, 2009 Designation List No.423 LP-2346 147 EIGHTH AVENUE HOUSE, Manhattan Built c. 1828, architect unknown Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 741, Lot 32 On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the 147 Eighth Avenue House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing was duly advertised according to provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Historic Districts Council, the Society for the Architecture of the City, and Community Board 4. Summary No. 147 Eighth Avenue is one of a pair of highly intact 3 1/2 story Federal style houses constructed 1827 to 1828. It is a rare survivor from the earliest period of development in the area that is now part of Chelsea. No. 147 Eighth Avenue has continuously housed both residential tenants and businesses, reflecting the evolving commercial character of Eighth Avenue. The building was constructed 1828 for Stephen Weeks, who owned the property for a short time. He continued to conduct business at this location, well into the 1840s. Over the course of the centuries, the original storefront configuration of the ground floor has had several alterations; however, this row house, like its neighbor at 145 Eighth Avenue, is intact above its storefront and exhibits the attributes of the Federal style houses of the era. This row house has a steeply pitched roof, with double dormer windows. The building shares a party wall and central chimney with its neighbor, and a façade clad in Flemish bond brickwork. -
143 ALLEN STREET HOUSE, 143 Allen Street, Manhattan Built C
Landmarks Preservation Commission February 9, 2010, Designation List 426 LP-2350 143 ALLEN STREET HOUSE, 143 Allen Street, Manhattan Built c. 1830-31 Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 415, Lot 23. On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the 143 Allen Street House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 6). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including a shareholder in the property and representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the Society for the Architecture of the City. Summary The Federal style row house at 143 Allen Street was constructed c. 1830-31 as a speculative investment by George Sutton, a ship captain and counting house merchant. Originally part of a group of six similar residences, it is located in the heart of what is now known as Manhattan’s Lower East Side on land that was once part of the vast country estate of James De Lancey. The area developed rapidly following the turn of the 19th century and by the 1830s had become a bustling neighborhood composed in large part of brick and brick- fronted Federal style row houses. George Sutton had established himself in the early 19th century as a captain sailing the coastal trade route between New York City and Charleston, South Carolina. He eventually became ship master in the New- York and Charleston Packet Line, and later an agent and merchant working in a counting house on the East River waterfront. -

For Immediate Release Going Downtown in History
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GOING DOWNTOWN IN HISTORY: CHINATOWN NEW YORK CITY’S LANDMARKS TELL THE STORY OF A PEOPLE AND A CITY NEW YORK, NY – Not surprisingly, Chinatown New York City, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Manhattan, has several landmarks bearing the “oldest” title within its limits. The oldest Jewish cemetery can be found here, as can the oldest standing residence in New York City. Of course, Chinatown offers landmarks of a more modern breed as well. Where else in this country but Mott Street and its surrounding area can over 10 separate Asian cuisines be enjoyed? The neighborhood is a culinary capital, whose food reflects the rich and diverse history of immigrants from virtually every Eastern region in the world. Even born-and-raised New Yorkers are bound to learn something new from visiting Chinatown’s historic landmarks. A short walk through the neighborhood’s bustling streets is an explorer’s delight. After all, the history of Chinatown is the history of New York City itself, and history loves company. Following is a list of landmarks located in Chinatown New York City. • Chatham Square (cross streets) , also known as Kim Lau Square, is the site of the Kim Lau Memorial Arch. Located in the middle of the square, it was erected in 1962 in memory of the Chinese Americans who died in World War II. The square is named after the Earl of Chatham, William Pitt, who supported the American opposition to the Stamp Act, a tax on printed papers imposed on all American colonists by the British in 1765. -

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. -
511 GRAND STREET HOUSE, Borough of Manhattan
Landmarks Preservation Commission October 30, 2007; Designation List 397 LP-2269 511 GRAND STREET HOUSE, Borough of Manhattan. Built ca. 1827-28. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan, Tax Map Block 288, Lot 43. On July 24, 2007, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 511 Grand Street House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Four people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Society for the Architecture of the City, the Historic Districts Council, and the Landmarks Conservancy. Testimony in support of designation from Joyce Mendelsohn, historian, was read into the record. Summary Built ca. 1827-28 as an investment property by James Lent and Henry Barclay, the rowhouse at 511 Grand Street is a remarkable, rare surviving example of the Federal-style house in Manhattan. Shaped by the irregular foot print of the lot, 511 Grand Street is 29½ feet wide with an extra bay on the west side. Although the façade has been altered, the building still retains significant elements of its original Federal style such as its original 2½-story height, peaked roof, pedimented dormers and brick chimney and side entrance. Located on Grand Street, a busy thoroughfare, a succession of tenants since the 1840s has used 511 Grand Street as home and place of business. The survival of 511 Grand Street and its neighbor 513 Grand Street in an area heavily altered in the nineteenth century to accommodate the increasing population of the Lower East Side and in the twentieth century by urban renewal is significant to the understanding of the development of the area. -

Landmarks Preservation Commission March 27, 2012, Designation List 453 LP-2481 34 DOMINICK STREET HOUSE, 34 Dominick Street, Manhattan Built c. 1826; builder, Smith Bloomfield; altered c. 1866 Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 578, Lot 63 On June 28, 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 34 Dominick Street House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 7). The hearing was duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were four speakers in favor of designation, including representatives of New York Landmarks Conservancy, Society of the Architecture of New York City, Historic Districts Council and Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. Robert Neborak, co-owner of the building, spoke in opposition to designation on behalf of the owners of the building. Summary The 34 Dominick Street House was one of twelve Federal style brick row houses (Nos. 28 to 50) built c. 1826 on the south side of Dominick Street between Hudson and Varick Streets; and was one of five houses (Nos. 28 to 36) constructed by builder Smith Bloomfield. A secession of tenants lived in the house while owned by Bloomfield and it was sold by the executors of his estate to James M. Horton in 1866. The house retains its Federal style Flemish bond brickwork and stone lintels and sills. It was raised to a full third story with Flemish bond brickwork at the third story and an Italianate style cornice c. 1866. The addition of a full story is a typical alteration that many owners of Federal-era houses made at that time. -

March 25, 2010 Agenda
A meeting to further explore these issues has been set for Thursday, March 25th at 5:30 pm at the Chinatown Partnership, 60 St. James Place. March 25th Meeting agenda will include as much of the following as possible: 1. What areas are potentially landmarkable – to what extent do we want to expand or minimize commercial/industrial uses (zoning) in these areas. The current PAP asks for both cultural commercial viability and protection of landmarks. Is there a rationale for an Historic District on the Eastern side of Bowery below Division St? See area pictorial research at http://picasaweb.google.com/marketxmarket/ChinatownWorkingGroupScopingPhotos?fe at=directlink 2. In what areas is there developable land? Or underdeveloped land (and what is their current zoning). 3. To the extent that it is compatible or appropriate a. where would we recommend more hotels? – a particular request from the Charrette b. Commercial use of public right of way – recognized as part of the necessary traditional atmosphere to be “preserved. (Street vending, no street vending, vending of certain kinds only, small sidewalk cafes, enclosed sidewalk cafes, and unenclosed sidewalk cafes. c. Parks/Plazas with cultural/artistic commerce – again a specific request in the PAP and at the Charrette. Possible Areas for Small Sidewalk Cafes and or Cultural vending to 8-9pm to give street presence where it is now deserted at night: 4. Where should/could incentives be applied for building or building-out affordable commercial space, incubator space, light manufacturing incubators. This is a major component in our PAP that applies both to job creation and job/worker training.
