Working on Landmark Buildings:An Informational Seminar
Join the Historic Districts Council for a program discussing performing restoration, renovation and adaptive reuse work on designated landmark buildings in New York City. There are over 25,000 buildings in New York City which are overseen and regulated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. These buildings range from rowhouses in Brooklyn Heights to commercial buildings in Midtown Manhattan, and include prominent well-known structures such as Grand Central Terminal, the Chrysler Building and Tweed Courthouse. Projects affecting these buildings require not only working with a special municipal agency, but understanding the basic philosophy of historic preservation as it is practiced in New York.
Hear from experts who will detail case studies of real preservation projects, discuss new methods and materials, and get answers to frequently-asked questions about the regulatory process and working with Landmarks Preservation Commission. Attendees will come away with a new understanding of the Landmarks process which will greatly help them with future projects affecting historic properties.
