HDC Annouces "Best of 2007" in preservation
With the start of this New Year, HDC is pleased to announce the “Best of 2007,” a list of notable preservation victories in New York City over the past twelve months. That’s right—as we usher in 2008, we’re following the tradition of media outlets both big and small to name our choices for the most monumental events that shaped and shook the preservation community in 2007. From the designation of new historic districts to the successful cross-borough collaborations of community groups, HDC is pleased to highlight a very short list of the many critical efforts to defend the unique sense of place of our neighborhoods and our city.
In no particular order, here is our “Best of 2007,” HDC’s picks for the some of the biggest preservation successes of the past year:
