Historic progress for GVSHP landmarking efforts
In addition to the historic progress today on GVSHP’s preservation efforts for the South Village and federal-era (1790-1835) houses, several sites in the East Village which GVSHP supported landmarking were also heard and considered by the LPC today. These include a federal house at 138 Second Avenue, the Hebrew Actors’ Union at 31 East 7th Street, and the former Germania Fire Insurance Company Building at 357 Bowery. GVSHP has received a grant from Preserve NY (a program of the NY State Council on the Arts and the Preservation League of NY State) to conduct a historic resources survey of the entire East Village and make recommendations for further landmark protections for rest of this historic neighborhood..
