  • Carrot Or Stick: Protecting Historic Interiors Through
    CARROT OR STICK: PROTECTING HISTORIC INTERIORS THROUGH ORDINANCES OR EASEMENTS by CAROLINE GABREY RAINEY (Under the Direction of James Reap) ABSTRACT Historic interiors are often overlooked by preservationists in the study of historic preservation policies. The two common ways interiors are protected are through city preservation ordinances and the use of easements. This thesis examines the use of interior landmarking through the process of the New York City historic landmark ordinance. This study will include an analysis of landmarking issues and a comparison of properties landmarked with easement requirements in order to conclude whether the current ordinance or the use of preservation easements is the best method for interior preservation.

  • A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850–1900
    A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850–1900 Stephen Jude Sullivan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Stephen Jude Sullivan All rights reserved ABSTRACT A Social History of the Brooklyn Irish, 1850-1900 Stephen Jude Sullivan A full understanding of nineteenth century Irish America requires close examination of emigration as well as immigration. Knowledge of Irish pre-emigration experiences is a key to making sense of their post-emigration lives. This work analyzes the regional origins, the migration and settlement patterns, and the work and associational life of the Catholic Irish in Brooklyn between 1850 and 1900. Over this pivotal half century, the Brooklyn Irish developed a rich associational life which included temperance, Irish nationalism, land reform and Gaelic language and athletic leagues. This era marked the emergence of a more diverse, mature Irish- Catholic community, a community which responded in a new ways to a variety of internal and external challenges. To a degree, the flowering of Irish associational life represented a reaction to the depersonalization associated with American industrialization. However, it also reflected the changing cultural norms of many post-famine immigrants. Unlike their pre-1870 predecessors, these newcomers were often more modern in outlook – more committed to Irish nationhood, less impoverished, better educated and more devout. Consequently, post-1870 immigrants tended to be over-represented in the ranks of associations dedicated to Irish nationalism, Irish temperance, trade unionism, and cultural revivalism throughout Kings County.

    Rules of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, Title 63, Rules of the City of New York Effective January 22, 2019 Bill de Blasio, Mayor City of New York Sarah Carroll, Chair New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission Landmarks Preservation 1 Centre Street Phone (212) 669 7700 Commission 9th Floor North Fax (212) 669 7960 New York, NY 10007 nyc.gov/landmarks Introduction The Rules of the Landmarks Preservation Commission (the “Commission” or the “LPC”) set forth the processes, procedures and standards of the agency. They include the practice and procedures of public hearings and meetings, the application process, the standards for work on designated properties, fees for various types of work, enforcement and standards for the agency’s preservation grant program. Additional standards and definitions are set forth in the Landmarks Law, which is found in Title 25, Chapter 3, sections 301 to 322 of the New York City Administrative Code. A significant aspect of the rules is that they set forth what work may be approved by the Commission’s staff, without having to take the application to a public hearing before the full Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. Staff approval is the most efficient and cost- effective way to obtain a permit to do work on designated property and structures. Owners and architects are strongly urged to carefully review the rules, and work with LPC staff, to determine whether and how proposed work can or could meet them. The rules should also be used to help understand what materials are required for a staff approval to be issued.
