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 SPRING/SUMMER 2020 Welcome to the 32nd 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. Preservation, Pestilence, and UncertainBy Anthony C. Wood, Times Archive Project Founder & Chair In times of great upheaval, solace can come from those things and places that provide stability and continuity. Our landmarks and historic districts offer both in spades. In the current ongoing health crisis, our scenic landmarks have been particularly appreciated, offering their natural beauty and refuge as they did after 9/11. The power of place and the importance of community are being underscored as we live through these uncertain times. As efforts and attention are appropriately focused on the health emergency and its economic aftermath, it is important that preservationists articulate the important role preservation plays in our society and make sure the values of preservation are not forgotten in the difficult days and months ahead. Preservation’s history has some lessons to offer us about times like these.

  • Cultural Resources A. INTRODUCTION
    Chapter 7: Cultural Resources A. INTRODUCTION This chapter considers the potential of the proposed project to affect cultural resources, both archaeological and historic. The proposed project would result in a new, mixed-use development that would occupy an approximately 22-acre area roughly bounded by Flatbush and 4th Avenues to the west, Vanderbilt Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue to the north, and Dean and Pacific Streets to the south. The neighborhoods in proximity to the project site, including Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, and Clinton Hill, contain numerous architectural resources that relate to multiple periods of Brooklyn’s development. The cultural resources analyses have been prepared in accordance with New York City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR), the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), and the New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 (SHPA). These laws and regulations require that city and state agencies, respectively, consider the effects of their actions on historic properties. These technical analyses follow the guidance of the 2001 CEQR Technical Manual. The CEQR Technical Manual recommends that an analysis of archaeological resources be undertaken for actions that would result in any in-ground disturbance. It also recommends that a cultural resources assessment be performed if a proposed action would result in any of the following (even if no known architectural resources are located nearby): new construction; physical alteration of any building; change in scale, visual context, or visual setting of any building, structure, object, or landscape feature; or screening or elimination of publicly accessible views. Since the proposed project would result in at least some of these conditions, a full analysis for archaeological and cultural resources under CEQR and SEQRA was undertaken.

  • ALHAMBRA APARTMENTS, 500-518 Nostrand Avenue A/K/A 29-33 Macon Street, Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 18, 1986; Designation List 184 LP-1431 ALHAMBRA APARTMENTS, 500-518 Nostrand Avenue a/k/a 29-33 Macon Street, Brooklyn. Built 1889-90; architect Montrose W. Morris. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 1843, Lot 20. On June 14, 1983, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Alhambra Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.6). The hearing was continued to September 13, 1983 (Item No.1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Nine witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Alhambra Apartments in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant is one of Br~klyn's major apartment houses. Designed by Montrose W. Morris, it was built in 1889-90 by developer Louis F. Seitz 1 and was one of a number of commissions Morris executed for Seitz, including two other exceptional apartment buildings, the Renaissance and the Imperial. Al though the ground floor was converted into storefronts in 1923, 2 the Alhambra is a distinguished design in a romantic combination of the Romanesque Revival and the Queen Amie styles. Major development of Bedford-Stuyvesant took place in the mid to late 19th century when speculative builders and real estate developers transformed the rural conununity known as Bedford or Bedford Corners into an urban residential area of rowhouses for the middle and upper middle classes. In 1884, Henry Stiles, the noted historian of Kings County and the City of Brooklyn, wrote that Bedford had "lately and reluctantly yielded its charms to the rude embrace of city improvements" and had changed from "a simple forest-environed cluster of ancient, low-brewed Dutch houses presenting a scene of quiet beauty.

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Renaissance Apartments, a striking apartment house at the intersection of Nostrand Avenue and Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, was commissioned by Louis F. Seitz, a local real tor, in 1892 and designed by the noted Brooklyn architect, Montrose W. Morris.1 The Renaissance is one of a number of commissions Morris executed for Seitz , including two other exceptional apartment buildings, the Alhambra, two blocks south on Nostrand Avenue; and the Imperial, on Bedford Avenue a11.d Pacific Street at Grant Square, which is a grander version of the Renaissance. The Renaissance's design was inspired by the 16th-century chateaux of Renaissance France and executed in a skillfull combination of buff Roman brick, terra cotta, metal and slate. Major devel opment of Bedford-Stuyvesant took place in the mid to late 19th century when speculative builders and real estate developers transformed the rural conununity knCMn as Bedford or Bedford Corners into an urban residential area of rowhouses for the middle and upper middle classes.
