Members of the Coney Island Board of Trade, in which Astella helped to revitalize and provides technical assistance, have noted that while most merchants keep the sidewalk area in front of their stores free of liter according to city law, additional liter and sidewalk dirt and stains accumulate throughout the remainder of the day. In addition, according to a survey of Mermaid Ave. merchants conducted by an Astella intern in 2010, cleanliness of Mermaid Ave. was cited as the number one concern among merchants on Mermaid Ave. A cleaner commercial corridor will inspire confidence and pride in the neighborhood, provide a welcoming environment for shoppers, a boost for Mermaid Ave.

  • Prospect Park Alliance Receives Funding from Greater Hudson Heritage Network to Restore Historic Painting at Lefferts Historic House
    Prospect Park Alliance Receives Funding from Greater Hudson Heritage Network To Restore Historic Painting at Lefferts Historic House BROOKLYN, August 25, 2014 – The Prospect Park Alliance has received funding from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network to restore a historic oil painting at Lefferts Historic House. The grant will go toward the conservation of Portrait of Mr. Lefferts, an oil-on-canvas painting of the house’s original Dutch owner. The restoration of the painting, undertaken by conservators Barbara Applebaum and Paul Himmelstein, will stabilize loose paint and restore the work’s original colors. Built by the Lefferts family in the 18th-century farming village of Flatbush, Lefferts Historic House features a working garden, historic artifacts, period rooms and exhibits. Visitors are encouraged to play with traditional tools, toys and games, and engage in historic activities such as candle making, sewing and butter churning. The Prospect Park Alliance and the Historic House Trust of New York City jointly operate and preserve this important piece of New York City’s past. Greater Hudson Heritage Network grants funds to New York State’s museums, historical and cultural organizations to aid in stabilizing, preserving, and making accessible to the public the unique objects in their collections. The Conservation Treatment Grant Program of Greater Hudson Heritage Network is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council for the Arts, a state agency. The Prospect Park Alliance is a non-profit organization that partners with the City of New York to preserve and maintain Prospect Park, Brooklyn’s flagship park. The Alliance cares for the natural environment, restores historic design, and provides public programs and amenities for the Park, which receives more than 10 million visits each year.
