The City Council voted to uphold the landmark designation for 135 Bowery. We secured this result because the historical evidence remained the primary focus throughout the review process. Please monitor the Landmarks Preservation Commission records for formal filing updates regarding the property.

RE: Hardenbrook-Somarindyck House at 135 Bowery
TO: Margaret Chin, NYC Council Member, District 1; Brad Lander, Chair, NYC Council Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Siting and Maritime Uses; Christine C. Quinn, NYC Council Speaker, and Members of the NYC Council
Whereas the New York City Council enacted the Landmarks Preservation Law in the City of New York and
Whereas the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, in compliance with that law and its provisions, including holding a public hearing, found the Hardenbrook-Somarindyck House at 135 Bowery to be a building that has a special character or special historical or aesthetic interest or value as part of the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the city, state, or nation and
Whereas for those reasons the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission acted in compliance with the law to designate the Hardenbrook-Somarindyck House at 135 Bowery an individual landmark,
We, the undersigned citizens of the City of New York urge the New York City Council to respect the determination of the Landmarks Preservation Commission and vote to affirm and uphold the designation of the Hardenbrook-Somarindyck House at 135 Bowery as a New York City landmark.

Enough with the wrecking balls. Keep 135 Bowery standing.
PLEASE PROTECT OUR HISTORY. ONCE IT IS GONE IT IS GONE FOREVER.
This city has no respect for the past. Landmarks should actually mean something.
The Bowery is losing all its history to ugly glass condos. Save the building!
Leave it alone. We dont need another highrise in that spot.

NYC is just becoming a giant mall. Stop tearing down real history for once.
