July 31, 2003 Bernadette Castro Commissioner New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Empire State Plaza Agency Building One Albany, NY 12238 Re: John J. Harvey Fireboat Dear Commissioner Castro, We are writing in support of the retired fireboat John J. Harvey and its application for a matching grant from your office. Not only would preserving this vessel be an asset to the New York City waterfront as a piece of history, but it also means guaranteeing a chance for hundreds of New Yorkers to get out on the Hudson River, and experience the city from the water. Since John J. Harvey has been docked in Chelsea, its owners have provided dozens of free trips to the public. Its owners have taken those of us involved in the planning of the Hudson River Park out on the water to view the park from the other side of the bulkhead, and they have done the same for hundreds of local school children in the past two years. The fireboat has also become a beacon on the water at nearly every celebration, park opening and waterfront event, and it has made the rounds of the Hudson River towns as well, promoting the cause of historic ships and improved waterfront access. Put succinctly, we don’t want to lose John J. Harvey. Please help fund its restoration so Chelsea can keep a piece of the city’s past, as well as a means to get out on the river. Sincerely, Walter Mankoff Pam Frederick Chair Co-Chair Manhattan Community Board No. 4 Waterfront & Parks Committee .

2019 Annual Report
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Preserving the City We Love Contents From the President From the President 2 Dear Friend of the Conservancy: Speaking Out for Preservation 3 Sometimes you need an outside jolt to look at what you are doing and reassess how you are communicating your mission to the wider community. We were fortunate enough to Providing Preservation Services 8 get that jolt this year. And we have American Express to thank for it. We were one of a handful of firms nationally that won a pro bono review by an American Preserving Sacred Sites 14 Express marketing team. They were enthusiastic and thorough, offering valuable sugges- tions on how to better explain the value of preservation and our programs. Then they Funding Historic Properties 19 entered us in a contest for a grant to help pay for a rebranding firm. We won. And we spent much of the year assessing our mission statement, logo, website and print materials. Honoring Excellence 22 We are still working on this, aiming to launch our new look and improved messaging early next year. Far from being a superficial exercise, this forced us to get past the Celebrating Living Landmarks 25 bricks and mortar, focus on the people we help, and express why we so love our work and New York. It was also very encouraging to see that SJI, the rebranding firm, shared Tours and Other Events 29 American Express’ enthusiasm for our efforts. Both firms underscored our belief that people who love New York, automatically love buildings and the history they reflect.
