    INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEW The Reminiscences of Joseph Svehlak © 2021 New York Preservation Archive Project PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Joseph Svehlak conducted by Interviewer Sarah Dziedzic on February 1, 2021. This interview is part of the New York Preservation Archive’s Project’s collection of individual oral history interviews. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, with minor editing by Joseph Svehlak, rather than written prose. The views expressed in this oral history interview do not necessarily reflect the views of the New York Preservation Archive Project. Joseph Svehlak was born in Sunset Park, Brooklyn––or Old Bay Ridge––to immigrant parents of Moravian-Czech descent, who initially resided on the Lower West Side of Manhattan before relocating to Brooklyn. Svehlak is a founding member of the Friends of the Lower West Side, and has worked to bring recognition to the diverse history of the neighborhood and to secure Landmark status for the area’s three remaining buildings. Purchasing his “first old house” in Sunset Park in 1970, Svehlak became involved with community activism to address a lack of city services and languishing of community activities the neighborhood. With a few neighbors, he established a block association in 1971, and was a founding member in the mid-‘70s of the neighborhood-wide Sunset Park Restoration Committee, which organized house tours and coordinated resources for homeowners to restore their old homes, among other community activities. He eventually got his real estate license to help recruit homebuyers to Sunset Park, and started doing walking tours of the neighborhood––in part because he didn’t own a car.

    Friends of the Lower West Side Downtown Community House & the Historic Lower West Side Historic Districts Council March 3, 2018 Former Downtown Community House It was sponsored by William H Childs, of Bon Ami Cleanser fame, and run by the Bowling Green Neighborhood Association “for the perpetual welfare of the men, women and children who live and work in lower Manhattan.” Built in 1925-6 and designed by John F Jackson Architect, the cost was $300,000. Governor Al Smith laid the cornerstone in 1925 History At the cornerstone laying ceremony, Governor Al Smith said that “there are few people in the City of New York today that realize really the number of people who live in this section of the city. The (Lower) west side to most people appears principally as a place of business … and to say that there are so many tenement dwellings in the very shade and the very shadow of the great tall buildings that make New York’s famous skyline is only to those familiar with it very apparent.” The community house had a health clinic, milk station, library, pool room, auditorium, classroom, nursery, kitchen, and dressmaking school 105-7 Washington Street, 1929 (NYPL) History At the dedication ceremony, Mayor James J. Walker thanked sponsor William H. Childs for help in “turning back the Bolsheviki, helping God and man, making the Stars and Stripes brighter than ever.” Washington Street, e/s looking south from Rector, 1911, before the community house was built (NYPL) History The building became the Recreation & Training School in 1936.

Bogart Matthew Owen Coody Susan De Vries Amy Freitag Shirley Ferguson Jenks Paul Onyx Lozito Liz McEnaney Richard J. Moylan Kate Burns Ottavino Gina Pollara John T. Reddick Anthony W. Robins Michael Ryan NEWSLETTER FALL/WINTER 2020 Welcome to the 33rd edition of the newsletter of the New York Preservation Archive Project. The mission of the New York Preservation Archive Project is to protect and raise awareness of the narratives of historic preservation in New York. Through public programs, outreach, celebration, and the creation of public access to information, the Archive Project hopes to bring these stories to light. Collecting the Now Efforts Capturing 2020 Inspire Preservationists By Elizabeth Rohn Jeffe, Vice-Chair Preservation history takes two forms. On the one hand, it may center on the story of an organized and gradual effort to save a building, designate a historic district, promote a public policy matter, or even protect a significant historic neighborhood tree. On the other hand, it may require documenting an effort to “put out a fire”—a rush to muster a quick response to a pressing and unforeseen threat. This latter situation is more likely to create a challenge when it comes to saving materials related to a historic preservation effort. The New York Preservation Archive Project works to help preservationists safeguard the records generated by both of these models. But in this critical era of the COVID-19 pandemic and the events associated with the Black Lives Matter movement (BLM), it is especially instructive to examine how several major New York institutions are collecting materials “in the moment” that reflect these societal crises.
