Walk with FRIENDS as we tour some of the cultural and architectural sites that make the Upper East Side such a distinctive place. From elegant apartment houses and mansions to more modest brownstones and early 20th-century immigrant communities, the Upper East Side boasts a rich history and a wonderfully varied built legacy. With this guide in hand, immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this special corner of New York City. We hope you become just as enchanted by it as we are. FRIENDS’ illustrated Architectural and Cultural Map and Guide includes a full listing of all of the Upper East Side’s 131 Individual Landmarks. You can find the location of these architectural gems by going to the map on pages 2-3 of the guide and referring to the numbered green squares.

  • Chapter 5: Shadows
    Chapter 5: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the detailed shadow study that was conducted to determine whether the proposed One Vanderbilt development would cast any new shadows on sunlight-sensitive resources. Sunlight-sensitive resources can include parks, playgrounds, residential or office plazas, and other publicly accessible open spaces; sunlight-dependent features of historic resources; and important natural features such as water bodies. Since the preparation of the shadow analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the height of the proposed One Vanderbilt development was increased. The shadow analysis in this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been revised to reflect this change including Figures 5-1 to 5-22 and 5-27. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This analysis compared shadows that would be cast by the proposed One Vanderbilt development, which would be built to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 30, with those that would be cast by the 15 FAR building that would be developed absent the proposed actions (the 15 FAR No-Action building). As described below, the analysis concluded that the proposed 30 FAR One Vanderbilt development would cast new shadows on Bryant Park, the west windows of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse and several other sunlight-sensitive resources. However, the new shadows would be limited in extent, duration and effects and would not result in any significant adverse shadow impacts, as demonstrated in detail below. B. DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY This analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQR procedures and follows the guidelines of the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. DEFINITIONS Incremental shadow is the additional, or new, shadow that a structure resulting from a project would cast on a sunlight-sensitive resource.

  • Sunset Park Brooklyn the Historic Districts Council Is New York’S Citywide Advocate for Historic Buildings and Neighborhoods
    A GUIDE TO HISTORIC NEW YORK CITY NEIGHBORHOODS SUNSET PARK BROOKLyn 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 pres- ervation 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. Six to Celebrate is generously supported by The New York Community Trust. Additional support for Six to Celebrate is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and by public funds from the New York City Depart- ment of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York City Councilmembers Margaret Chin, Inez Dickens, Daniel Garodnick, Vincent Gentile, Sara Gonzalez, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.

  • Appendix A: Shadows
    Appendix A: Shadows Appendix A: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION As discussed in Chapter 6, “Shadows,” a detailed analysis comparing shadows in the future with the proposed project with the shadows in the future with the Previously Approved Project and with the Expanded Development Scenario was undertaken on each of the four analysis days, consistent with the methodology outlined in the CEQR Technical Manual. For a substantial number of open space and historic resources, the proposed project would not result in any incremental increase in shadow. In addition, there are a number of resources that would receive incremental shadow for fewer than 30 minutes. These resources are described in detail in this appendix. B. ASSESSMENT OF INCREMENTAL SHADOWS: PROPOSED PROJECT COMPARED WITH PREVIOUSLY APPROVED PROJECT OPEN SPACES THAT WOULD NOT RECEIVE ANY INCREMENTAL SHADOW THE SHEFFIELD RESIDENTIAL PLAZAS These plazas, located on the block bounded by Eighth and Ninth Avenues and West 56th and 57th Streets, are fully in existing shadow during the first 15 minutes of the December 21 analysis day, when the proposed project’s shadow would otherwise affect them. No incremental shadow would fall on these spaces at any time of year, and no shadow impacts would occur as a result of the proposed project. MCCAFFREY PLAYGROUND This playground is located on the north side of West 43rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. Shadow from the proposed project would be long enough to reach this playground from 6:57 AM to 7:15 AM on the June 21 analysis day; however, the portions of the space that could be affected are already in shadow at this time, and so no incremental shadow would occur.

  • 45 EAST 66Th STREET BUILDING, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 15, 1977, Number 4 LP-0963 45 EAST 66th STREET BUILDING, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1906-08; architects Harde & Short. Landmark SIte: Borough '-,of Manhattan Tax Map BI ock 1381 , Lot 22. On May 10, 1977, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the 45 East 66th Street Building and the proposed design~tton of the related Landmark Site (Item No.7). At the request of the owner the hearing was continued to July 12, 1977 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised In accordance with the provisions of law. A total of ten witnesses spoke in favor of designation at the two hearings. Two witnesses, one of whom was the attorney for the owner, spoke against designation. The Commission has received a great many communications In favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The striking apartment house~ at 45 East 66th Street stands at the corner of 66th Street and Madison Avenue and Is richly detailed with a profusion of Gothic ornament. The building creates a picturesque and imposing effect reminiscent of the neo-French Renaissance style which often employed Gothic detail. Executed In brick with terra-cotta trim, from the designs of the architectural firm of Harde & Short, this handsome apartment building with its distinctive corner tower was, when It was erected In 1906-08, among the earliest of its type to be constructed In the city. During the first decade of the 20th century, luxurious apartment houses gradually began to replace the opulent private residences of affluent New Yorkers who, for both econom f c and ;_; pract I ca I reasons, came to prefer apartment-style urban living.
