Shelter Pavilion and Attached Buildings, Monsignor McGoldrick Park

Designated November 19, 1966

Located in a small park in Greenpoint is this crescent-shaped pavilion consisting of an open arcade with a small building at each end. In detail the Shelter Pavilion reminds us of the Grand Trianon at Versailles with its coupled columns and the arrangement of windows in the end pavilions. This park shelter is of particular significance as it represents a piece of architecture which virtually controls the landscape plan around it.

“I don’t know what the City would be without HDC. [They] testified before LPC time after time and helped us focus on the right issues. We would not be an historic district without HDC! ”

“Use HDC as a resource because they know what they are doing and can offer advice on how to go about creating a district from every front: architectural, political, LPC, and the media. I had floundered prior to my involvement with this invaluable organization.”

“HDC provided guidance and shared information during that process—we knew which Council members were going one way or another and we changed a few minds. I don’t think NoHo would have had as cohesive a district had it not been for HDC’s aid.”

“I remember Richard saying at a meeting, we have someone here from HDC, Nadezhda Williams, Director of Preservation and Research, to help us. She said to us, ‘You are not the only ones going through this.’ HDC included us in an enormous community”
