On September 16, I delivered testimony before the New York City Council’s Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Siting and Maritime Uses in strong support of the West End-Collegiate Historic District Extension. This remarkable concentration of historic buildings, which was approved for designation by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on June 25 of this year, is a crucial part of a larger stretch of West End Avenue, from West 70th Street to West 109th Street, for which local elected officials, CB7, the West End Preservation Society, Landmark West! and other community-based organizations have long sought historic district designation. Please see my testimony below.
