The Landmarks Conservancy works in many directions on behalf of New York's architectural heritage. Our programs demonstrate that hands-on help for building owners is the key to successful preservation. By providing technical advice, financial aid, and education, the Conservancy contributes to economic revitalization of the City's neighborhoods and aesthetic rehabilitation of its much-loved older buildings.
The Conservancy is nationally and internationally recognized as a vocal and forward-thinking leader in the preservation movement. Its work ensures that the landmarks of New York-homes and schools, businesses and cultural institutions, theaters and houses of worship-will serve its citizens for generations to come.
A question for Mr. Hauser - could it help to find out whether such a builder or engineer, Frederyk Janush, an emigrant from Austria, was known and even existed somewhere during this time (20-30s)
Congratulations to all the winners. Every effort and every good intention and action deserved to be rewarded. The transformation of those beautiful buildings is simply amazing!!! The Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards are the most prestigious award in USA! The New York Landmarks Conservancy did an excellent job, like always.
Today's "Hamilton musical" is a slap in his face.... Amazing the savages of NYC allow this house to stand.... They recently took down the Jefferson statue in Town Hall after 187 years..... *MAGA*
According to the Museum of the City of New York. By 1889, the Grange had fallen into disrepair and was set to be razed to make room for the expanding city grid. The estate sat on what was to be 143rd Street - the street would have run right through the house’s northwest corner. Luckily, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, in the midst of relocating from Greenwich Village, acquired the house and moved it a half block east and two blocks south, out of the way of the city’s bulldozers.
Ok. Based on the provided map it looks like the street would have only run through the house’s northwest lawn. Interesting stuff, thank you for the info and source.
It's Amazing how the concrete jungle was simply built all the way around it, while it will forever remain in history time stood still on the street corner of America's most loved city .
Spectacular! I should have known Stanford White & Tiffany were involved - LOVED every building they ever did - As well as the other archedicts/artists involved - Hidden NY Treasure for sure!
Back when I lived it NYC my boyfriend and myself were walking by. We walked in and asked if we could take a look around. The only people there were the receptionist and concierge. No problem. Cannot believe you have to book a tour now.
Paint that thing! You can do better City of New York! The family restored it for you. The city just wants profits. Pay 6 New Yorkers for a week to paint it. Or two guys from anywhere else a day. Get a good coat of oil base on that wood.
