support for the landmark application of Banca Stabile Row at 181 - 189 Grand St. in NYC Little Italy

I know its to late now but I am furious. We can not allow anymore development in little Italy or it will forever be destroyed due to the loss of character. Both my parents were born there and even tho I was born in Brooklyn I still basically grew up in love with Little Italy. We need to do something. There is enough Italians in the Tri state area that we can make a diffrence, they cant knock down a building if we occupy it. We need to do something. they keep showing that we have no more voice, well we need to show them that they are wrong. My number is 718-530-4733 call me if you want to do something.

I've lived on Mulberry Street for 40 years, and Stabile Bros. bank was my landlord. This building must be saved at all cost, and should have been designated an internal as well as external landmark years ago, for the original teller cages and other details that could be found nowhere else. It is central to the identity of Little Italy. The corner of Mulberry and Grand is the ONLY intact crossroads of Little Italy In demolishing those 3 very old houses on the corner of Mulberry and Grand Streets, Joseph Scelsa is doing far more harm to Little Italy than the good his museum can ever do it. Real history can't be saved by destroying it.

I lived there for years .. later be the building . Would be a shame to demolish how can I help

My grandfather Oreste A Stabile was the first Italian-American CPA in New York City. Save the bank building!

Why do they always want to do away with buildings of interest in which the United States was founded on. Tear down this to build a parking garage or apartment building so they can make money the cause of all evil. Keep things that made America grow. It's ok to sit or kneel during the National Anthem but it's not ok to save history. Next they will want to tear down the Old North Church in Boston then Fort McHenry in Baltimore where I live.

Keep it:))

Hopefully someone will have the insight to preserve this historic piece of history.

These are the most symbolic buildings of N.Y.C. Italian Heritage. They are not replaceable at any cost. They have been maintained in almost mint condition for centuries. Please preserve at any cost.

My grandparents and mother grew up in Little Italy, and I spent my formative years there visiting the neighborhood. Evicting older tenants for high -rises is never a good idea, and in this case, is a case of incredible hypocracy!

There must be many rich folks of Italian heritage who need a tax break. Shouldn't the people running this place be raising money themselves like other museums do?

These buildings are landmarks of Little Italy and should be preserved as official NYC Landmarks.

The City of New York should not destroy the history of its people symbolized and remembered by these buildings.

I always noticed these, and they reminded me of the similar ones on Grand @ Thompson --that they replaced with a new building they tried to make look like the old one by painting it green like the old one was! At such a small floor scale, they are very old, and really stand out as survivors of the horrors we hear about lower Manhattan two centuries ago.
