Apply

The Historic District Council has opened up applications for their 2025 program.

Just for fun:

Which historic landmark sites or neighborhoods in our community would YOU choose?

What are our preservation priorities, in this Community?

Ok, I’ll start.

I’d love to see Edsall Avenue on the list, and the Along the Hudson Homeowners Association, which I believe Jackie Zanca has been working to document

Happy to provide what information I can — I’m still trying to get around the No Trespassing signs for some of the ATH properties!

Should the ATH Houses be a preservation priority for us?

Given the time and effort required to document so many properties, it would be nice to have more resources and support, if I’m understanding the reasoning behind 6toC. It’s likely that many of the West 231st Street houses will eventually be demolished, and it would be nice to have lots of documentation of the houses, as well as the original owners and architects. Most are at least 100 years old. There are currently three homes in Along-the-Hudson that were designed by Julius Gregory and Dwight J. Baum (who together designed most of the historic Fieldston homes) and they are still standing. Would be nice to be able to study and document them while they are still with us!

Of course, that doesn’t answer whether it should be a KHS priority, but throwing in my two cents.
