The commission officially moved to designate the historic districts in Bed-Stuy. This is a massive win for all 220 of us who demanded protection for our architecture. Keep an eye on the local office to ensure they follow through with the preservation standards.

To: NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission:

 

We the undersigned support the landmark designation of proposed historic districts in Bedford Stuyvesant.

We respectfully urge the Landmarks Preservation Commission to swiftly begin landmarking efforts in Bedford Stuyvesant.

  Landmark status is the only way to preserve and protect New York City’s largest, and one of Brooklyn’s most significant collection of brownstones and rowhouses from insensitive development and destruction of its intact 19th century streetscapes. We need comprehensive protection to preserve the neighborhood’s historic architecture, cultural fabric and sense of place.  Your action will help stabilize property values, encourage civic pride and ensure the preservation of these structures for the education, pleasure, and benefit of future generations.
Sincerely. The Undersigned

This area is special. Dont let the character vanish into thin air just so companies can make a quick buck.

My family has been here for 40 years. We need to protect the look of these blocks before nothing left is authentic.
