  • Hecla Iron Works Building, 100-118 North 11M Street, Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 8, 2004, Designation List 354 LP- 2146 Hecla Iron Works Building, 100-118 North 11m Street, Brooklyn. Built 1896-97; design attributed to Niels Pouslon; iron elements cast by the Hecla Iron Works. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 2296, Lot 14, in part, consisting of the land beneath the 1896-97 building. On March 3, 2004 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Hecla Iron Works Building and the proposed designation of the Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of five speakers, including representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy, Historic Districts Council and Modern Architecture Working Group, as well as a tenant in the building, testified in support of designation. The commission also received numerous letters in support of designation, including many from residents of Williamsburg. A representative of the owner faxed a letter expressing opposition to designation. Summary The Hecla Iron Works Building, constructed in 1896-97, is located on North 11 '11 Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Four stories tall, the front and rear elevations are faced with cast-iron panels enriched by simple classical details. While most iron fronts incorporate rows of weight-bearing columns, this facade is only a few inches thick, suggestive of skin rather than structure. In combination with metal frame windows, which are all original to the building, it anticipates the decline of masonry fronts and the rise of the modern curtain wall. Niels Poulson, who co-founded the company with Charles Eger in 1876, is likely to have supervised the building's design and construction.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission June 25, 2013, Designation List 465 LP- 2533 ST. LOUIS HOTEL (now HOTEL GRAND UNION), 34 East 32nd Street (aka 34-36 East 32nd Street), Manhattan. Built: 1903-05, architect: Frederick C. Browne Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 861, Lot 52 On May 14, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the St. Louis Hotel (now Hotel Grand Union) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were three speakers in favor of designation, including two representatives of the owner and a representative of the Historic Districts Council. No one spoke in opposition to designation. Summary The St. Louis Hotel, constructed in 1903-05, as part of the midtown hotel district was built at a time of great expansion and development in midtown Manhattan. Close to shopping and entertainment districts, this area was also well-served by a variety of transit lines. In the early 20th century, the neighborhood was being redeveloped from single- family homes to stores, institutions and lofts. Many hotels were built at this time, for transient guests as well as apartment hotels for residents of longer duration, all taking advantage of the convenience of this location. The designer of the St. Louis Hotel was Frederick C. Browne, a New York architect with a prolific practice between the early 1890s and 1925. He designed numerous hotels and small apartment buildings in Manhattan, many in the Beaux-Arts style, as seen on this building.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 11, 1979, ~signation List 127 LP-1041 GRAND HOI'EL, 1232-1238 Broadway, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1868; architect Henry Engelbert. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax :t-1a.p Block 832, Lot 66. On March 13, 1979, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Grand Hotel and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 17). The hearing was continued to May 8, 1979 (Item No. 5). All hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of 3 witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTIClil' AND ANALYSIS The Grand Hotel, an urbane marble structure crowned with a handsorre mansard roof, is a sophisticated exanple of the French Second Errq;>ire style. Built for Elias S. Higgins, an irrportant manufacturer and vendor of carpets, it was designed by Henry Engelbert in 1868 at the beginning of a period in New York's history that transfoJ::Ired Broadway between M:idison and Herald Squares into the heart of a glittering enterta.inrrent district.l . Just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War when M:idison Square was an exclusive residential quarter, rrost hotels, restaurants, theaters and stores of any distinction were still below Houston Street. However, with the end of the War and the recovery of the econ~ from the general depression that followed it, the relentless northward growth of the city resumed and a number of fashionable hotels opened near M:idison Square along Fifth Avenue and Broadway.

  • Madison Square North
    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods M ADISON S QUARE N O RT H 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 preservation 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. Support is provided in part by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
