From the President
Dear Friends:
Last year we celebrated the Conservancy’s 30th anniversary, and I ended my 2003 annual letter
with: “Here’s to the next 30 years!” Well, here we are, finished with the 31st, and I’m pleased to
say we’re off to a good start.
No resting on laurels for the Conservancy staff. Instead, there are always more buildings in
need of our assistance and new preservation challenges.
Perhaps one of the most serious issues that arose in 2004 was the threat of major Catholic
Church closings in the New York Archdiocese. Declining congregations and deferred maintenance
have taken their toll. But closings will have an impact far beyond the congregations. If a
significant number of these lovely buildings are demolished, the character and scale of neighborhoods
across Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx will be changed forever.
Other denominations face similar problems. The potential loss is sobering.
As you will see, the Conservancy has spent considerable time and resources on two prominent
closings—St. Thomas the Apostle in Harlem and St. Brigid’s on Tompkins Square.
Additionally, we’re surveying other churches in the Archdiocese, offering assistance and enlisting
the help of sister organizations. Our goal is to help congregations discover any resources they
may have, encourage adaptive reuse where appropriate, and generally awaken officials and the
public to this threat to our cityscape.
At the same time, we are continuing to aid Upper Manhattan religious institutions through
the pioneering Upper Manhattan Historic Preservation Fund, which we administer for the Upper
Manhattan Empowerment Zone. The Fund is testimony to the social, economic, and cultural
benefits these institutions bring to their area. Likewise, our Sacred Sites program helped 43
religious institutions of all denominations throughout the state.
Our financial and technical programs have always distinguished the Conservancy, and 2004
was a banner year. Our 22-year old Historic Properties Fund gave $1.5 million in loans to 22
projects. Homeowners from Bay Ridge to Vinegar Hill and from Hunters Point to Elmhurst
benefited from our low interest loans and staff assistance of the projects.
Our City Ventures Fund has paired our grants and expertise with non-profit community
developers since 1986. Brooklyn’s Pratt Area Community Council has been a special partner.
And this year, PACC’s 40th anniversary, they honored the Conservancy with its “Housing
Partner Award.” As in any field, recognition by one’s peers is especially welcome.
Recognition of another sort came when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority enlisted
our Technical Services Center for special help with the restoration of the glorious but long-closed
City Hall Subway Station. All kinds of institutions call on our skilled professional staff for their
expertise.
So we’re on our way to future milestones. It’s very soul-satisfying to help New York’s people
and buildings—and very rewarding to know that you support our efforts. Our thanks again.
Peg Breen, President

We achieved landmark designation for three Federal
rowhouses on MacDougal Street (1) and one on St. Marks
Place (2), while we continue to lobby to landmark 67
Greenwich Street (3), the last existing rowhouse on what
was once one of the city’s most prestigious strips.
1
Kehila Kadosha Janina Synagogue (4) received our Moses
Award in 2003—and landmark designation in 2004.
Protecting Historic Assets
The Conservancy is a skilled and respected advocate for preservation in Washington,
Albany, and City Hall. On Capitol Hill, we helped preserve federal funding for the conversion
of the Farley Post Office into Moynihan Station and sought increased funding
for State Historic Preservation Offices. In Albany, we continued to press for a Historic
Homeowners Tax Credit. We remained especially active with New York City issues.
Championing New Landmarks
Our campaign to achieve landmark status for thirteen Federal-style rowhouses in
Lower Manhattan moved forward successfully. Three at 127, 129, and 131 MacDougal
Street in Greenwich Village were designated; another, at 4 St. Marks Place. We will
continue to campaign, alongside the Greenwich Village Society for Historic
Preservation, for the remaining rowhouses’ designation—especially 67 Greenwich
Street, a former mansion dating to 1811.
The Conservancy helped two more neighborhoods—the Murray Hill Historic
District Extension in Manhattan and the Douglaston Hill Historic District in Queens—
become designated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission and ratified by the City
Council. We also pushed for protecting another vulnerable neighborhood, Far West
Greenwich Village in Manhattan.
Our testimony before the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the City
Council helped designate several exceptional, individual landmarks this year. These
properties included the Kehila Kadosha Janina Synagogue on Manhattan’s Lower East
Side, a winner of our Moses Preservation Award in 2003. Two unusual buildings in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn were also landmarked: the Hecla Iron Works, a proto-modern
building dating from 1904; and the F.J. Berlenbach House, whose original wood siding
and trim are intact—117 years after their installation.
Perhaps most miraculously, at the eleventh hour, the Conservancy helped achieve
landmark status for an 1868 Victorian house on Staten Island. It was slated for
demolition, despite being designed, built, and resided in by the renowned architect
Henry Hobson Richardson.

and supported a proposal to re-zone por-
The Wilbraham Apartment Building,
Whitney Museum, Manhattan
tions of the Ladies Mile Historic District in order Manhattan
to facilitate redevelopment of vacant, mid-block
sites between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Behind the scenes, our Public Policy Committee influenced significant proposals.
Comprised of twenty-four members of our Board of Directors and Advisory Council,
the group confronted the controversial issue of the Whitney Museum’s proposed expansion.
Although the Committee admired much about architect Renzo Piano’s design, it
withheld support primarily because the plan entailed the demolition of a contributing
brownstone townhouse (circa 1876) in the Upper East Side Historic District.
Fortunately, the Museum relented and put forward an alternate plan for the proposed
addition’s Madison Avenue entrance, retaining a meaningful part of the townhouse and
its entire façade, which will be fully and faithfully restored.

Our Technical Services Center staff guided the
restoration of City Hall Subway Station’s skylights (1)
and the facades of India House (2 and 3).
1
We offered emergency assistance to the roof of Hoffman
Hall (4) and expertise on the planning committee for the
landmark TWA Terminal (5) at JFK airport.
Providing Architectural Expertise
Government agencies, non-profits, and private building owners
often call upon our Technical Services Center for its preservation
expertise. 2004 saw the completion or near-completion of diverse
TSC projects at private and public institutions citywide.
Assisting the City
TSC’s special assistance helped complete the cleaning and
restoration of the historic City Hall Subway Station—in time to
celebrate the subway system’s 100th anniversary in October. The
beautiful leaded-glass skylights over the platform and tracks have
been restored, and we documented this unique station thoroughly 2
using laser photogrammetry, a technique that results in highly
detailed scaled images.
The City’s Department of Buildings began an ambitious study of the International
Model Building Code in order to revise its current building code. TSC Director Alex
Herrera sits on the “Existing Buildings Committee” and heads the sub-committee on
historic buildings. Many modern building codes work against restoration, and we now
have an important chance to influence codes. This collaboration between Conservancy
and the Department of Buildings is significant, and the committee’s recommendations
are expected in 2005.
Advising Institutions
TSC’s expertise assisted the ambitious restoration of India House’s three principal
façades. The unsound masonry and through-wall projecting air conditioners have been
eliminated. Missing for decades, the smooth masonry surfaces and delicate carved
detailing were reproduced. The remaining work was completed in early spring 2005.
TSC helped the Museum of the City of New York put in place a magnificent new
Vermont slate roof and new hidden gutters and leaders. In Brooklyn, TSC advised officials
of the Pratt Institute on the restoration and replacement of windows on several
important historic buildings on campus.

Our long-working partnership with St. Bartholomew’s Church on Park Avenue
continued. We worked with church trustees and officials to select a team of consultants
who will create a master plan addressing the many issues facing the complex’s buildings
and outdoor spaces.
Aiding Emergencies
TSC helped solve an unexpected, dangerous situation at General Theological Seminary’s
Hoffman Hall (c.1883). During the removal of the roof’s worn asphalt shingles, a
section of the original concrete sub-roof gave way and crashed through the ornate
Gothic ceiling of the refractory below. Although the room was occupied, no injuries
occurred, but work was halted. Because of the building’s early and innovative fireproof
construction, the sub-roof had a unique composition that required a new approach.
TSC recommended that a grant from the Conservancy’s Emergency Preservation Fund
be used. This helped defray costs and devise a plan that eventually allowed the new
slate roof to be completed without any further damage.
Redeveloping an Icon
Final comments were submitted on May 7 covering the Memorandum of Agreement
between the FAA, the Port Authority, and the State Historic Preservation Office for a
new air terminal to be built directly behind the landmark TWA terminal at JFK airport.
The Conservancy has been invited to participate in the Redevelopment Advisory
Committee (RAC), which will oversee the development of the new building’s design—
especially in terms of its connection with the landmark—and the development of an
adaptive reuse plan of the Saarinen-designed terminal.

The unique Fire Watchtower in Mt. Morris Park was
assisted with Technical Services Center guidance as
well as an Upper Manhattan Historic Preservation Fund
grant (1). We also advised the restoration of 110
Bridge Street’s colorful cornices (2) and provided an
easement for 164 East 70th Street (3).
TSC hosted and presented at a range of conferences. TSC Director Alex
Herrera delivered a slideshow lecture on the evolution of Manhattan’s
Stone Street at the American Planning Association’s annual conference in
Washington DC.
In conjunction with the New York Council of Cooperatives and
Condominiums, TSC held two evening seminars that examined solutions
to the varied restoration and conservation challenges posed by New
York’s unparalleled stock of historic apartment buildings.
And on March 27, the Conservancy and the Association for
Preservation Technology (APT) sponsored a one-day symposium, State
of the Art Techniques for Monitoring and Protecting Historic Structures.
Over 400 attended the program at Columbia University.

Easements
A voluntary legal agreement between a
property owner and a non-profit organization
that restricts future changes to the
property and requires cyclical inspections, a
preservation easement assures that historic
properties are well maintained. In 2004,
the Conservancy accepted eight new
preservation easements, all in Manhattan.

Dating from 1904-
1907, St. Thomas the
Apostle Church (1)
was designed by the
renowned ecclesiastical
architect Thomas
H. Poole and is one of
many historic Roman
Catholic churches
facing demolition.
A National Historic
Landmark, the
Church of St. Ann and
the Holy Trinity (2)
in Brooklyn received
a major Robert W.
Wilson Sacred Sites
Challenge Grant.

Preserving Sacred Sites
Since its inception in 2000, the Robert W. Wilson Sacred Sites Challenge Grant
Program has generated over $1.1 million in grant matches that have facilitated the
completion of over $50 million in restoration of historic religious properties across
New York State. We are proud that this program was renewed for another five years to
support a wide-range of projects.
Our Wilson Challenge Grants were awarded to three grantees in the City and two
in Western New York, including the following two National Historic Landmarks.
Designed by Minard Lafaver between 1844-47, the Church of St. Ann and the Holy
Trinity in Brooklyn received $35,000 for repairs to badly leaking roofs at the side aisles
of the sanctuary. St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral in Buffalo (Richard Upjohn, 1849-51)
received $30,000 to restore its monumental brownstone masonry tower and spires.
The program also awarded $234,500 in smaller Sacred Sites and Consulting grants.
These grants helped sites repair and restore a range of features from roofs to stained
glass. The grants also helped the sites begin conditions assessments, construction
documents, and master and/or maintenance plans. Six institutions received not only
one grant for restoration project planning but also a second grant later to carry out the
prioritized repairs.
Statewide, Sacred Sites staff shared technical, project management, and fundraising
advice at a range of settings, including a talk at the Landmark Society of Western New
York’s annual preservation conference.
Historic Catholic Churches in Crisis
In 2004, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York announced redevelopment
plans for several of churches across Manhattan. As 19th and early 20th century Roman
Catholic churches from Harlem to the Lower East Side have been closed or threatened
with closure, the Conservancy has served as an influential clearinghouse to help
advocate for vulnerable churches, particularly St. Thomas the Apostle Church in
Harlem and St. Brigid’s on Tompkins Square.
In July, the Archdiocese announced plans to demolish St. Thomas to build lowincome
senior housing, and by August, it began dismantling the intricate terra cotta

1
pinnacles at the upper façade. In September, pressure from Harlem residents, political
representatives, the Conservancy, and other advocates helped temporarily suspend
demolition. In December, Congressman Charles Rangel intervened to help secure a
brief inspection by Conservancy staff and our consultants, engineer Robert Silman and
architect Chuck DiSanto of Walter Melvin Architects. This consultation generated an
independent assessment of the building envelope and will help estimate costs of its
potential adaptive use. St. Thomas is eligible for National Registry status.
Downtown, the Conservancy advised a coalition of former parishioners and
neighborhood advocates working to save St. Brigid’s, the oldest surviving church built
by Irish immigrants to New York and among the oldest Catholic churches in the City.
Although the congregation has raised more than $100,000 toward the necessary
$250,000-$500,00 total repair, the Diocese closed the church pending redevelopment of
the site. The parishioners are still fighting.
In neighborhoods less pressured by redevelopment, we have made progress in
saving churches, such as Holy Innocents Church in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood.
We helped convince the Brooklyn-Queens Roman Catholic Diocese to allow the
congregation to pursue full National Register listing. We also awarded Holy Innocents
a Consulting Grant to fund a comprehensive conditions assessment.
If a substantial number of Catholic churches are closed or redeveloped, all New
York City neighborhoods and other denominations will be impacted. To address this,
in September the Conservancy called a “summit” meeting of leaders from local sister
organizations and the state historic preservation office. Participants agreed to complete
a survey of 100 Roman Catholic churches begun by the Conservancy. Participants also
agreed to proactively reach out to threatened parishes to encourage repairs, maintenance,
adaptive use, and marketing strategies.
While many historic Catholic churches are being closed, other denominations face
similar pressures and declining buildings. We will continue networking parishes and
alerting public officials, political representatives, preservation and neighborhood
advocates, and the media to help save these churches.

We helped save Holy
Innocents Church (1),
a proto-modern
church in Brooklyn
designed by
skyscraper architects
Helmle Corbett and
constructed in 1923.
We are still lobbying
to save one of the
oldest Catholic
churches in the city,
St. Brigid’s (2), which
was built in 1848
with a sanctuary
attributed to
Patrick Keely.

The restoration of Old St. James Parish Hall
(1) returned the decorative bracketing on
the gables, among other repairs that had
been neglected over the decades (2).
Funding Historic Restorations
The Historic Properties Fund had one of the most productive years in its 22-year
history. The program distributed $1.5 million to 22 properties that ranged from a
colonial shingle structure to simple rowhouses, and from clapboard mansions to
elaborately detailed religious buildings. Among these, the Fund helped two especially
impressive—and much needed—restorations.
The restoration of Old St. James Parish Hall in Elmhurst, Queens was completed
with HPF assistance. Constructed between 1735-36, this single story, wood frame
building is the oldest vernacular Colonial Anglican structure in the City of New York.
Historically, the Hall has been the center of the community’s social, religious, and
political life, counting among its parishioners several prominent citizens, such as the
Reverend Dr. Benjamin Moore, the first president of Columbia University; the Reverend
Dr. Samuel Seabury, Jr., the first American Bishop;
and Dr. William Moore, a physician.
2
Over the centuries, the church underwent several
alterations. Its original steeple was removed and
replaced in 1760, when the church was enlarged. In
1848, a new church was erected nearby, and Old St.
James was adapted for use as a Sunday school. In
1882, the second steeple collapsed but was not
replaced.
Although various modifications have occurred
since, more than $150,000 from the Historic
Properties Fund helped complete this $430,000
restoration in 2004. Comprehensive improvements
included: installing a new roof; restoring the cedar
siding, wood windows, and the roof’s existing eaves
and brackets; and reconstructing the decorative
bracketing on the gables. The direction of project
architect Kaitsen Woo and general contractor 53
Restorations, Inc. essentially returned the building to its 1880s appearance.
{ 10 }

With a major grant
from the Historic
Properties Fund, the
exterior of One
Pendleton Place (3)
was completely
restored.
Across the boroughs,
HPF helps preserve
and repair homes,
such as 1218 Dean
Street (4) in Crown
Heights, Brooklyn.
{ 11 }
3
The Fund also helped complete the longterm
restoration of One Pendleton Place in New
Brighton, Staten Island. Dating from 1861, One
Pendleton Place was designed by Charles Duggin
in the Stick style. It served as the second home of
W.S. Pendleton, a successful businessman who
owned a local ferryboat company and worked in
real estate.
Reverend John Walsted and Reverend Gerald
Keucher purchased the abandoned property in
1983 and began restoring a multitude of period
rooms, including the prominent widow’s walk.
Although eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places, the property is not a
designated City landmark. Without requirements
for its restoration, the owners themselves
enthusiastically sought historically appropriate
treatments.
A 1996 loan of $55,000 from the Historic
Properties Fund had underwritten much-needed
structural repair work to the foundations of the
house. But a $100,000 HPF loan provided the
funding necessary to complete exterior restoration
in fall 2004. The owners were able to
remove asphalt and siding, replace clapboards,
restore the wraparound porch and the existing
wood trim, reconfigure the house’s southeast corner,
and paint the entire house. Project architect
Kaisten Woo worked with general contractor
Island Housewrights to achieve this amazing
transformation.

UMHPF helps restore buildings that shape the character of communities, such
as the sandstone façade at Ephesus Seventh Day Adventist Church (1) and the
intricate bell tower of North Presbyterian Church (2).
1
The exteriors of Holyrood Church (3), Mt. Zion Lutheran Church (4), Emanuel
AME Church (5), and St. James Presbyterian Church (6) were improved with
UMHPF grants.
Revitalizing Neighborhoods
The Upper Manhattan Historic Preservation Fund (UMHPF) is the only program of
its kind in the country to facilitate economic development through preservation.
UMHPF is funded by the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone and managed and
staffed by the Conservancy. Now in its fifth, full year, the program has completed substantial
restoration projects at 20 historic churches and synagogues. The Fund helped
significant restorations at 8 churches in 2004.
UMHPF grant and loan funds for $200,000 initiated the first phase of the exterior
restoration of Ephesus Seventh Day Adventist Church on Lenox Avenue. The work
unveiled the magnificently golden Ohio sandstone, previously hidden under years of
soot and marred by a massive 1969 fire. We helped restore the rose window as well.
The project also included a testing program to determine the gentlest and most effective
cleaning method for the sandstone façade, including state-of-the-art, low-pressure,
micro-abrasive cleaning technology. The congregation has raised an additional
$250,000 to supplement our funding, and eventually, this expansive $2.5 million
project will recreate the missing upper spire at the prominent corner tower.
North Presbyterian Church, at 525 West 155th Street, emerged from scaffolding in
2004. Severely cracked corners at the building’s large bell tower were rebuilt with new
brick, and damaged terra cotta trim at the tower’s upper portions was pinned or
replaced. Pigeons were evicted, voluminous guano abated, and new screens and louvers
were installed at the belfry. A $100,000 UMHPF grant assisted this $250,000 project.
UMHPF helped facilitate work at First Corinthian Baptist Church at 1912 Adam
Clayton Powell Boulevard (as seen on the front and back covers). Contractors stabilized
and repaired the intricate white terra cotta front façade. The team reconstructed
the badly deteriorated loggia (open balcony) at the third floor level of this former
motion picture palace, designed by theater architect Thomas W. Lamb in 1912. An
additional $50,000 from the congregation supplemented the $200,000 in UMHPF
grant and loan funding.

Five other Upper Manhattan religious institutions completed improvements with the
Fund’s support: Emanuel AME Church at 37 West 119th Street, Holyrood Church at 715
West 179th Street, Mt. Zion Lutheran Church at 421 West 145th Street, St. Ambrose
Episcopal Church at 7 West 130th Street, and St. James Presbyterian Church at 409 West
141st Street. All completed roof, stained glass window, and masonry repair projects.
We hope these completed projects will spur ongoing maintenance and restoration.
In total, UMHPF assisted thirty religious institutions this year, including one Mosque.
The Fund also facilitated an architectural and engineering assessment of the Fire Watchtower
at Mt. Morris Park (as seen on page 6).
Interest is so strong in Upper Manhattan that in June, an UMHPF workshop,
“Inspecting and Maintaining Religious Properties,” drew 30 representatives from local
non-profit and religious institutions to learn more about preservation and preventative
maintenance of their facilities.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorated the redevelopment
of 227 Gates (1) into lower income and senior

features of 281 Bainbridge Street (2), which now provides
housing for survivors of domestic violence.

For our long-standing collaboration, the Pratt Area
Community Council honored the Conservancy with its
“Housing Partner Award.” CVF Manager Karen Ansis
accepted the award from PACC Executive Director Deb
Howard and Mark Ginsberg of Curtis + Ginsberg
Architects (3).
Enhancing Community Buildings
Our City Ventures Fund helps non-profit developers to retain or replace the
period details of architecturally significant buildings being converted into housing
and community service centers. The fund has helped create over 600 affordable
apartments and has provided over $1.1 million in grants.
In Manhattan, CVF assisted projects at 22-24 Mt. Morris Park West, being
rehabilitated by Settlement Housing Fund near Mt. Morris Park, and at 320
West 47th Street, where the front façade is being restored.
In Brooklyn, the Fund continued to partner with the Pratt Area Community
Council (PACC) to help maintain the architectural heritage of Fort Greene,
Clinton Hill, and Bedford-Stuyvesant, where projects at 99-105 Herkimer
Street and 157 Halsey Street began. PACC also celebrated three ribbon-cutting
ceremonies for buildings in June.

First, New Destiny Housing Corporation completed the redevelopment of the
last of five properties on Bainbridge Street. 281 Bainbridge Street now contains 8
units of housing for low-income families and survivors of domestic violence. A City
Ventures Fund grant of $25,000 underwrote façade, brownstone stoop, and cornice
restoration work.
Constructed in 1903, The Belmont at 547 Madison Street is a handsome corner
property owned by Cornerstone Baptist Church and known for its ornamental metal
bays and rich masonry. The renovation created 9 units of lower income and senior
housing in this building. A City Ventures Fund grant of $35,000 was used toward the
restoration of the brownstone entryway, cornice repairs, brick pointing, and technical
preservation assistance.
The beautiful Beaux Arts apartment building at 277 Gates Avenue first gained our
attention in the mid-nineties, when owned by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). Vacant and with falling terra cotta, the building was
purchased from HUD by PACC, who then put together a complex financing package
that has resulted in 35 new apartments for lower income senior citizens. A City Ventures
Fund grant of $40,000 helped to preserve and replace (in fiberglass) the remarkable
cornices and parapet fascia that decorate the building and render its character.

Celebrating Our Living Landmarks
You never know what’s going to happen at the Living Landmarks Gala. An impromptu
performance by a Broadway legend, juggling, or even an appearance by Big Bird all
have delighted guests over the years. But this year’s surprise beats them all: a $100,000
check from George Steinbrenner. This unexpected gift brought the total raised to more
than $840,000 and made this our most successful benefit to date.
Over 500 guests gathered at The Plaza to celebrate Steinbrenner and the other
2004 Living Landmarks: Candice Bergen and Marshall Rose, Whoopi Goldberg, Linda
and Morton Janklow, and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, who received the Lew
Rudin Award for Outstanding Public Service. Rudin, a 1995 Living Landmark, was a
real estate giant and outstanding civic leader who devoted himself to the betterment of
New York City. Cartier again provided the beautiful engraved awards, and Board member
Mimi Levitt underwrote the evening’s flowers and decorations.

A Man to Thank
Host Liz Smith set the tone when she introduced Steinbrenner. “Tonight we honor
our first sports figure as a Living Landmark. I try to think of anyone who has added
more to New York’s thrill. He stands for something larger, shares New York’s own
hopes and dreams.”
Steinbrenner received the award from his friend Barbara Walters. “When we
take walks, everyone recognizes him, and no one recognizes me,” she shared. “He
is the warmest and funniest man I know, the most generous but shy and humble.
He normally doesn’t accept honors.”
His succinct response? “I know this honor is for the Yankees, because they are a
part of New York, so I thank you very much.”

A City to Cheer
From two actresses to a literary agent, a cultural leader to a real estate impresario, and
a police official to a legendary sports figure, the Living Landmarks of 2004 are as
diverse as New York itself. But they are united in their love of our City.

Whoopi Goldberg remembered the energy of growing up among
vibrant cultures in Chelsea and the magic of learning about the city’s architecture
on walks led by her mother. On these special tours, it seemed like
“everything was a landmark.” From an early age, the City moved Goldberg,
and her story moved us.
Linda Janklow described a completely different experience of New
York as a child. The daughter of Hollywood czar Mervyn LeRoy and Doris
Warner, she recalled spending time on the MGM backlot. “There was a set
for Main Street, a Western town, and a replica of New York City. It had
Brooklyn stoops, Federals of Greenwich Village, Broadway’s retail stores, and
Times Square. But they were only facades. When I moved to Manhattan, I
was amazed to find streets with three-dimensional buildings!”
The City still impresses Mort Janklow every day. “When I was growing
up in Brooklyn, we’d say, ‘Let’s go to the city!’ It was almost as foreign as
London or Paris. It was a reward to come here, and it’s still a reward to live
here. I walk from our home to the office on 57th, and I’m not so jaded that I
don’t marvel at the Empire State Building and the Chrysler.”
Candice Bergen and Marshall Rose literally sang their praises. “I don’t
really sing,” Bergen explained, “and Marshall would rather die than do this.
But because we love Liz and love New York, we’re about to do something
tragic.” Joined by Smith, Bergen and Rose launched into a spirited rendition
of “The Glory of Love.” The audience gave the trio a standing ovation!
A Cause to Honor
Commissioner Ray Kelly spoke movingly about his childhood home, a
historic house that was torn down before it was ever declared a landmark.
“We have to stop the character from draining out of our city,” he reminded.
Mort Janklow’s closing dedication also encouraged: “We must preserve
the best of the past with perseverance and fortitude. The mix of the past and
modern is what makes a great city. A toast to the New York Landmarks
Conservancy!”

Supporting Our Success
The Landmarks Conservancy’s unique preservation programs depend on annual
contributions from our many loyal individual, corporate, and foundation supporters.
Each year we must raise over 75% of our operating budget from private sources. We
are very grateful for our partnership with all of you who care as much as we do about
preserving New York’s historic architecture.
The Conservancy gratefully acknowledges the following donors who made gifts of

Living Landmarks Reunion at Le Cirque

For almost a decade, Living Landmark Sirio Maccioni has hosted a special reunion for all
Living Landmarks at Le Cirque. The lively event also kicks off that year’s Gala. Over 140
people attended in 2004—our largest reunion yet. It was also the last time the reunion
will be held in the landmark Villard Houses, as Maccioni is relocating his famed restaurant.
The Conservancy thanks him for his many years of generosity and support.

Conservancy Circle Tours
Throughout the year, we invite our Real Estate, Professional, and Conservancy Circle
donors to exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of preservation projects. In 2004 these tours
revealed some of the most fascinating projects in our area.
Circle members toured All Saints (1) and St. Aloysius, two magnificent Roman
Catholic churches in Harlem being considered by the Landmarks Preservation
Commission for designation.
The Conservancy was treated to a special tour of the lobby of Verizon’s landmark
building (2) on Vesey Street, which underwent a spectacular restoration after being
severely damaged on 9/11.
Circle members witnessed the astonishing transformation
that is taking place along Front Street in the South
3
Street Seaport Historic District (3). After decades of neglect,
seven crumbling redbrick shells are being restored
and rehabilitated into residential units in this model of
good preservation and sustainable, energy-efficient design.
We toured Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church (4),
which has restored its sanctuary dome and Victorian interior
paint finishes and is now creating nearly 13,000
square feet of new space below ground to accommodate
its growing congregation.
Across the river, Conservancy friends were given a
top-to-bottom tour of the Brooklyn Historical Society’s
majestic building (5), built by architect George B. Post in
1881. The Queen Anne/Italian Renaissance exterior has
been fully restored, while its High Victorian interior has
been renovated to contemporary museum standards. The
result is a stunning project, which had won a Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award from
the Conservancy the previous year.
Conservancy friends also toured the Neustadt Museum of Tiffany Art’s glass conservation
studio (6) in Long Island City, which houses thousands of glass pieces from the original
Tiffany Studios. We viewed several beautiful stained glass windows undergoing restoration.
