"See No Evil" at Landmarks Preservation
Does this landmark looked well-preserved?
Or is an injustice being committed at a former courthouse?
Landmarks_Preservation_Commission_Chairman_Robert_B._Tierney said:
The work of the Landmarks Preservation Commission has never been more vital. Historic preservation plays an integral role in the City’s economy and quality of life for visitors and residents alike. In all five boroughs, unique architectural and historical properties serve as invaluable reminders of New York City’s nearly 400 years of urban growth. . . . The Commission takes great pride in preserving the character of our neighborhoods and buildings, in the belief that landmarks anchor community renewal and pride and touch all New Yorkers.
