Second, many of the city’s military resources are already designated City Historic-Cultural Monuments and/or are listed in the National Register.1 Finally, with the exception of air raid sirens, a small number of military-related resources were identified as part of SurveyLA and, as such, did not merit development of full narrative themes and eligibility standards.

  • FRED F. FRENCH BUILDING, 551 Fifth Avenue, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 18, 1986; Designation List 184 LP-1415 FRED F. FRENCH BUILDING, 551 Fifth Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1926-27; architects: H. Douglas Ives and Sloan & Robertson. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1281, Lot 1 On January 11, 1983, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Fred F. French Building ann the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing was continued to February 8, 1983 (Item No. 5) Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. A total of seven witnesses spoke in favor of designation. The Commission has received several letters ann other expressions of support in favor of this designation. One letter was written in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Located on the northeast corner of 45th Street and Fifth Avenue, the Fred F. French Building was constructed in 1926-27 as corporate headquarters for the prominent real estate firm of the same name. A proto­ Art Deco design, with strong Near Eastern influences, it represents the stylistic compromise between lingering historicism and the modernistic trends that typified the architecture of the late 1920s. The Near Eastern allusion is enhanced by a dramatic series of setbacks. Although mandated by the Building Code of 1916, these wedding cake-like tiers found a romantic corollary in Assyrian ziggurats. The setbacks taper off to a lofty terraced tower which enriches the midtown skyline with iconographic bas-reliefs, Mesopota~ian in both their imagery and execution in richly colored faience.

  • Chapter 5. Historic Resources 5.1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 5. HISTORIC RESOURCES 5.1 INTRODUCTION 5.1.1 CONTEXT Lower Manhattan is home to many of New York City’s most important historic resources and some of its finest architecture. It is the oldest and one of the most culturally rich sections of the city. Thus numerous buildings, street fixtures and other structures have been identified as historically significant. Officially recognized resources include National Historic Landmarks, other individual properties and historic districts listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, properties eligible for such listing, New York City Landmarks and Historic Districts, and properties pending such designation. National Historic Landmarks (NHL) are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. All NHLs are included on the National Register, which is the nation’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Historic resources include both standing structures and archaeological resources. Historically, Lower Manhattan’s skyline was developed with the most technologically advanced buildings of the time. As skyscraper technology allowed taller buildings to be built, many pioneering buildings were erected in Lower Manhattan, several of which were intended to be— and were—the tallest building in the world, such as the Woolworth Building. These modern skyscrapers were often constructed alongside older low buildings. By the mid 20th-century, the Lower Manhattan skyline was a mix of historic and modern, low and hi-rise structures, demonstrating the evolution of building technology, as well as New York City’s changing and growing streetscapes.

  • THE WHITEHALL BUILDING, 17 Battery Place (Aka 1-17 West Street), Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 17, 2000; Designation List 317 LP~2056 THE WHITEHALL BUILDING, 17 Battery Place (aka 1-17 West Street), Manhattan. Built 1902-04; architect, Henry J. Hardenbergh. Extension 1908-10; architects, Clinton & Russell. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 15, Lot 7501, in part, consisting of the land on which 17 Battery Place (aka 1-17 West Street) is situated. On February 8, 2000, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Whitehall Building 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. A representative of the Historic Districts Council spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. The Commission has received a letter in support of designation from the building's owners. Summary The twenty-story Whitehall Building, named for Peter Stuyvesant's seventeenth-century house that had been located nearby, was constructed in 1902-04 and designed by the preeminent tum-of­ the-century architect Henry J. Hardenbergh. This highly visible site at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, overlooking Battery Park, inspired the architect to create a building with bold design features and a dramatic color scheme. Built as a speculative office tower by the real estate and development firm of Robert A. and William H. Chesebrough, the building was an immediate success and the developers began plans to build an addition. They hired the prolific architectural firm of Clinton & Russell to design a thirty-one-story addition facing West Street, with a tower overlooking the original building.
