Dear Friends,You have to be in preservation for the long haul. And several of the projects we’rehighlighting this issue demonstrate that.

Preservationists worried about the six landmark structures on Roosevelt Island foryears, when the Roosevelt Island OperatingCorporation showed little interest in maintaining them. The Conservancy triedreaching out with offers of assistance. The StateHistoric Preservation Office, Assemblyman PeteGrannis and the Roosevelt Island HistoricalSociety tried bully pulpits to little avail. That changed when PatrickSiconolfi came on as acting President of the Corporation two years ago, followed by former City Councilmember Herb Berman, who was namedPresident in August 2003.

We now have a good working relationship with the Corporation. Wehope to continue preservation work on the Chapel of the Good Shepherdand assist with efforts at other landmarks such as the late 18th centuryBlackwell House and the 1854 former smallpox hospital designed by James Renwick.

It was seven years ago when we first became concerned about the now-restored, Greek Revival Bennett-Farrell House in Bay Ridge. Ourinterest in Albany’s 144-year-old St. Joseph Church was launched five years ago. Each of these buildings came back from the brink with widecommunity support. St. Joseph’s still requires a lot of determination andrestoration to enable reuse of the impressive structure.

The Conservancy’s work with the Upper Manhattan Preservation Fundis winding down after five years. But we began giving grants to Harlemhouses of worship eighteen years ago and will continue to assist theseimportant buildings long after the special preservation fund is depleted.

We’re also delighted that the Landmarks Commission has designatedthree of the 13 Federal row houses we proposed, and has held a hearing ona fourth. But we’ll keep up efforts as long as needed until the rest are land-marked. Patience may be a virtue. But so is persistence.

Of course, the Conservancy couldn’t be planning for the future withoutthe support of so many people who share our vision and goals. The profilesin this issue of Robert W. Wilson and Board Member Donald Tober are justtwo examples. We know that our combined efforts will benefit New Yorkand its people far into the future–even when the first two, five, or 10 yearsare daunting.

Three Venerable RowhousesAre Now Landmarks

After an advocacy campaign waged jointly by the Conservancy and theGreenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, three small brickbuildings that have stood at 127, 129, and 131 MacDougal Street since1829 were designated as City landmarks in June. This trio was first considered by the Landmarks Preservation Commission 38 years ago.

At the time of the vote, Chairman Robert B. Tierney said, “These threeFederal-style row houses reflect the rich variety of residential architecture inNew York City and tell the story of the evolution of the Greenwich Villagestreetscape over time.”

“We appreciate the good start that the Commission has made on ourlist of fragile Federals,” said Conservancy President Peg Breen. “However,we will not rest until the nine remaining Federals in Lower Manhattan,built nearly two centuries ago, are safely in the fold as well. Without landmark protection, they could be lost or altered at any time.”

From Deteriorationto Celebration in Albany

Irish lumber barons built St. Joseph’s RomanCatholic Church as the centerpiece of Albany’sArbor Hill neighborhood in 1860. Patrick Keeley,one of the foremost architects of Catholic churchesin the United States, designed the imposing GothicRevival landmark. The Conservancy helped celebrate an important milestone for the churchrecently: structural stabilization after years ofvacancy and deterioration.

Conservancy President Peg Breen and SacredSites Program Director Ann Friedman attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony June 10, sponsored by Historic Albany and Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings. St. Joseph’s has been vacant since 1994,when the Albany Diocese sold it to a privatedeveloper who failed to maintain or redevelopthe property. The Conservancy helped fund astructural engineering survey of the building in1999 and has followed Historic Albany’s effortsto save and identify uses for the building.

The City of Albany stepped in three yearsago when a large section of a major support pierhad completely rotted. The City invested$250,000 in emergency stabilization and the New York State Office ofParks, Recreation and Historic Preservation contributed a $300,000 match-ing grant. Albany took control of the building last year through eminentdomain and transferred title to Historic Albany, which is now exploringnew uses for the important neighborhood anchor.

Another Snyder SchoolEndangered

While still waging campaigns to save P.S.31 in the Bronx and P.S. 109 in EastHarlem, the Conservancy has spoken outfor another historic public schooldesigned by New York City’s premierschool architect, Charles B.J. Snyder.

A coalition led by residents from theEast Village neighborhood is fighting toensure that P.S. 64, an imposing BeauxArts-style building located at 605 East 9th Street in Manhattan, survives into its second century.

Opened in 1906 and closed in the 1970s, the school housed a popularcommunity arts center until the City sold it at auction in 1998 to a developer. The Singer Financial Corporation now holds a building permitthat would allow alterations to the landmark-quality terra-cotta and redbrick façade without any public review. The Conservancy has appealed tothe Landmarks Preservation Commission to hold a designation hearing andto the developer, urging that the school be restored and incorporated intomore appropriate plans for the site.

Celebrating Preservationon Roosevelt Island

To mark the completed restoration of the towerand rose window of the Chapel of the GoodShepherd, the Conservancy hosted a ceremonyon June 18th and awarded Merit Citations to State Assembly Member Pete Grannis andRoosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC)President/Chief Operating Officer Herbert E.Berman for their support of the project.

Starting in 1997, Assemblyman Grannisspearheaded efforts to allocate New York Statelegislature funds totaling $330,000 to the project, with the Conservancy as licensee. RIOC contributed an additional $24,000 to the project. Since 1995, the Conservancy has beeninvolved in every aspect of the restoration, fromplanning to construction.

Roosevelt Island residents turned out for theevent, as well as RIOC board members and staff; Merrill Hesch, New York State Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Grants Officer; and project consultants and contractors, including conservator William J.Stivale, engineer Derek Trelsted of LZA Technology, restoration contractorLarry Plevy of Schtiller and Plevy, and stained glass artists Ray Clagnonand Tom Garcia of the Gil Studio.

A Month of Ribbon-Cuttings inBedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn

Three affordable housing projects supported by City Ventures Fund grantsofficially opened in June, celebrating with speeches, refreshments, and rib-bon-cuttings.

New Destiny Housing Corporation completed the redevelopment of281 Bainbridge Street, the last of five properties on Bainbridge Street.Originally constructed around the turn of the 19th century, the buildingcontains eight units of housing for low-income families and survivors ofdomestic violence. A City Ventures grant of $25,000 underwrote frontfaçade, brownstone stoop, and cornice restoration work.

Cornerstone Baptist Church owns the Belmont at 547 Madison Street,which is just across the street from the Church. This handsome cornerproperty was constructed in 1903 with ornamental metal bays and richmasonry. The renovation created nine units of lower income and seniorhousing. A City Ventures grant of $35,000 was used toward the restorationof the brownstone entryway, cornice repairs, brick pointing, and technicalpreservation assistance.

The Pratt Area Community Council (PACC) became involved with 277Gates Avenue, a beautiful Beaux Arts apartment building, in the mid-1990swhen the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)owned it. Vacant and with falling terra cotta, PACC purchased it fromHUD and put together a complex financing package that has resulted in 35 new apartments for lower income senior citizens. A City Venturesgrant of $40,000 helped to preserve and replace (in fiberglass) the remarkable cornices and parapet fascia that decorate the building and render its character.

One of the three ribbon-cuttings that made June a busy but proud month forprojects supported by the City Ventures Funds.

Shifting Gears: fromRestoration to Maintenance After the dust of a significant restoration settles, the work of maintenancehas only just begun. At historic sacred sites, there is always maintenance to be done, and future repair projects often need to be planned. Recently,the Conservancy co-sponsored a workshop, entitled “Inspecting and Maintaining Religious Properties: A Workshop for Caretakers of HistoricReligious Properties,” to help congregations from Upper Manhattan learnhow to tackle this often daunting task.

Transforming Upper ManhattanSince 1999, the Upper Manhattan Historic Preservation Fund (UMHPF), a joint project of the Landmarks Conservancy and the Upper ManhattanEmpowerment Zone Development Corp., has provided $4 million in financial assistance and technical services to 30 historic religious properties. The funding is used for repair and restoration of roofs, façades,and stained glass at landmark churches, synagogues, and mosques in Upper Manhattan.

The June workshop was designed to help these congregations maintain their newly restored houses of worship. Most have aging heating,ventilation, plumbing, and electrical systems. About 30 people attended the all-day event, held at St. James Presbyterian Church in the HamiltonHeights Historic District. Participants represented building committees andboards of religious institutions in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx.

The Nitty-Gritty of MaintenanceThe sessions focused on preventivemaintenance. Speakers offered practical strategies for maintainingbuilding walls, roofs and drainagesystems, mechanical systems, andhistoric stained glass. A panel featuring an architect, project manager, restoration contractor, and religious property board member provided advice on construction project management.

An interested group of religious leaders gathered inthe sanctuary of St. JamesPresbyterian Church tolearn about maintenanceand repairs, including a presentation by WesHaynes. Ray Clagnan of Gil Studio (below) spoke about maintainingstained glass.

Restoring a Greek Revival Gemin Bay Ridge

Among the apartment buildings and small brick houses of Bay Ridge, thereis a gem: a Greek Revival house built around 1847 for Joseph Bennett.Originally located on Shore Road overlooking the Verazzano Narrows, thebuilding was moved from Shore Road onto 95th Street in 1913. With FortHamilton, it is one of few buildings predating the area’s development in the1930s. Now the home of Maryanne and Pasquale Delliturri and their threechildren, it is newly restored with help from the Historic Properties Fund.

A Treasure Almost LostWhen the house’s previous owner died in 1997, the property was put up for sale by the estate and appeared to be a prime development site.Neighbors contacted the Conservancy, which encouraged City landmarkdesignation, and in 1999, the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the house as an individual landmark.

The Delliturris purchased the house in 2000 and have been restoringthe interior in phases. When it came to the exterior restoration, the Delliturris turned to the Conservancy for architect referrals. They selectedAnita Bartholin Brandt Architect, P.C. as the project architect and PRESERV, Inc., as the contractor. Encouraged by Brandt, the Delliturrisapplied to the Historic Properties Fund and were approved for a loan of$200,000 in April 2003.

The Greek Revival home of Maryanne and Pasquale Delliturri is a treasure of Bay Ridge.

Above and Beyond RestorationWorking with historic photographs obtained from descendents of the previous owner, Brandt prepared plans and specifications for the work,including new roof, skylight, and drainage systems; restoration of the original windows; replacement of the shutters; repairs to deteriorated woodsiding; repainting the exterior;restoration of front and rearporches; and removal of stucco and one wythe of brick on the foundation and replacement withhistoric red brick. In addition, theDelliturris chose to rebuild the historic parapet seen in the historicphotographs. This lovely detail runsthe entire roofline of the house andat the front and rear porches.

The exterior restoration workbegan in December 2003 and iscomplete. Just one project remainsfor the industrious family: therestoration of the double parlor.

A columned porch and carved wooden door (below) are two of the thoughtfully restored details of the Delliturri residence.

Historic Preservation Easements: A Valuable

Preservation ToolAs building owners learn about the benefits of historic preservation easements, many turn to the Conservancy for more information. Inquiries about this preservation strategy have been steadily increasing in recent years.

What is an Easement?An historic preservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement madebetween a property owner and a qualified, easement-holding organization,such as the Conservancy. Its purpose is to protect a significant historicproperty, landscape, or archaeological site by restricting future changes to or development on the site.

The Value of EasementsEasement donations normally have important financial consequences to thedonor. Under the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Qualified ConservationContribution, the owner can receive an income tax deduction equivalent to the appraised value of the rights donated to the Conservancy. Buildingowners wishing to donate easements are encouraged to speak with their tax advisors if they wish to claim a tax deduction for the value of the easement contribution.

In order to qualify for tax deductions, a preservation easement must be for a “certified historic structure.” This means that the structure must belisted on the National Register of Historic Places or located in a registeredhistoric district and certified by the National Park Service as being histori-cally significant to the district. Local landmark designation is not required.

Increasing numbers of historic homeowners turn to the Conservancy for information on easements.

special report

How An Easement WorksA property owner will convey a portion of his or her rights on the propertyto the Conservancy, allowing the Conservancy the legal authority to enforcethe terms of the easement. The restrictions may affect not only the exteriordetails but also unused development rights.

Each easement is tailored to the individual property and binds all current and future owners to preserve the property. It mandates that theConservancy undertake and pay for cyclical inspections of the property toensure that the façades or other areas are properly maintained. In mostcases, the property owner will donate a grant in conjunction with an easement to defray the costs of administering, inspecting, and enforcing the easement in perpetuity.

When a mortgaged property is involved, the Mortgage Company mustsubordinate its rights in the property to the Conservancy’s right to enforcethe restrictions of the easement. Once recorded in the county records office,an easement becomes part of the property’s chain of title and “runs withthe land.” Thus, an easement binds not only the owner who grants it but all future owners as well.

A Trusted StewardThe Conservancy has been accepting easements for decades and currentlyadministers 28. Some of these were donated to satisfy a requirement of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Before theCommission would approve certain special permits for transferal of airrights, it stipulated that the landmarks had to be maintained in sound, first-class condition in perpetuity. In order to best ensure this, the ownersdonated preservation easements to the Conservancy.

Most of our easements, however, come directly from conscientiousowners who seek to preserve their property. The Conservancy continues to accept historic preservation easements on buildings and sites of historicvalue in the five boroughs of the New York City.

The exterior of India House was restored with oversight by the Conservancy,which holds a preservation easement on the property.

Full HonorsThe Conservancy recognized Verizon withtwo of our most prestigious awards in2004: a Lucy G. Moses PreservationAward for the restoration of 140 WestStreet and the Chairman’s Award to PaulCrotty, Group President.

For four decades, the New York Telephone Company was headquarteredin the Art Deco building at the corner ofVesey and West Streets. The collapse ofthe World Trade Center on September 11,2001 caused catastrophic damage to thelandmark 1926 gem. The southern façade collapsed, with structural damage to many floors. The lobby, an interior landmark, also sufferedsevere damage, and its beautiful ceiling murals were blackened.

After the DamageThe Conservancy offered assistance, recommending a survey of the damageand a cleaning and restoration plan, and a referral to EverGreene PaintingStudios. A subsequent grant from the Lower Manhattan Emergency Preservation Fund funded the investigation.

The restoration efforts were completed in 2003. The south and eastfacing walls were reconstructed with 5,000 cubic feet of limestone andgranite chiseled by master carvers in Mount Vernon, 520,000 bricks,22,500 cinder blocks, and 93 tons of structural steel. Because only fourtwisted chunks of the frieze on the eastern facade survived, the new materials were copied from the undamaged western frieze.

A team of 30 conservators, technicians, and artists restored the lobbyto its original beauty. Using lost-wax casting, a 5,000 year-old technique, a foundry in Brooklyn restored the intricate bronze detailing. As recognition for the excellence of the work and the importance of the project, the Conservancy honored it with a Moses Award.

Applauding the ResultsFor this work, Paul Crotty was presented with the Chairman’s Award, anannual recognition of a business leader who has shown commitment topreservation in New York City. Crotty was honored with a dinner cruiseaboard the Forbes yacht, the Highlander, in May. “Paul Crotty has demonstrated a strong commitment to preserving the character of this citywhile shaping policy as both a public servant and a corporate leader,” saidJohn J. Kerr, Chairman of the Conservancy.

After that ceremony, Conservancy donors toured the restored lobbyand original, wood-paneled executive offices on the 26th floor.Led by Ray Nemchick fromWilliam F. Collins Architects, TomDunne of Verizon, and Jeff Greeneof EverGreene Painting Studios,many were impressed with theartistry of the lobby and the magnificence of the restoration.

Spring Tours Neustadt Conservation Studio

Thanks to Professional Circle member David Specter, of Specter DeSouzaArchitects, Conservancy donors had the opportunity to tour this uniqueconservation studio in Queens, which houses the extraordinary glass collection that remained when the Tiffany Studios closed its doors in 1932.The studio also houses lamps, leaded glass windows, and other objectsfrom the Neustadt Museum of Tiffany Art. Dr. Egon Neustadt(1898–1984) began collecting Tiffany glass in 1935 and created a privatetreasure of hundreds of lamps and windows in his Manhattan apartment.

Fifth Avenue Presbyterian ChurchEric Goshow of Goshow Architects hosted a tour of the restoration-in-progress of this landmark Gothic Revival Church, designed by Carl Pfeifferin 1873. To accommodate the church’s growing urban congregation, thechurch is excavating below cellar level to create nearly 13,000 square feetof new space. The existing building’s foundation was shored up to achievethis. Previously, the brownstone façade was repaired, the interior sanctuaryfinishes restored, and the North Tower spire, which had been removedyears ago, refabricated and installed.

Conservancy donors visited the construction site belowground, thenclimbed up the tower stairs to view the underside of the church’s domedsanctuary ceiling. The tour also explained how new interior finishes recreated the original Victorian paint scheme.
