Join HDC at the Opening Night of its 22nd Annual Preservation Conference!
Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer will deliver the keynote address at this year’s conference, entitled “Preservation and the Progressive Agenda: Framing the Conversation,” on Friday, March 4, at 6:00pm. As a leader in New York City’s civic affairs and a longtime participant in the fight to protect historic neighborhoods and places, Ms. Brewer will share her insight on current issues and trends in land use planning and policy. Immediately following her speech, guests will mingle in the magnificent lobby of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse (pictured above), located at 40 Foley Square in Manhattan. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the recently restored courthouse was built in 1932-36 and designed by Cass Gilbert and his son Cass Gilbert, Jr.
Tours of the building will begin at 5:00pm. There is very limited space on these tours. To register, please contact us at 212-614-9107 or [email protected].
Please be aware that this event takes place in a United States District Court building that has several security measures.
