In a letter dated yesterday, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, a federal agency that’s acted as a consultant to the Army National Guard with reference to Admirals Row, said the agency is “troubled by the recent turn of events” at the row, particularly the National Guard’s recent assertion that Building B cannot be stabilized. The letter has some strong words about how “it is inexplicable that the NY District did not complete the stabilization of Building B” before this winter and notes that the National Guard transferred $2 million to the guard’s NY District two years ago “for the express purpose of stabilizing Building B and the Timber Shed.” (The district has also said that the Timber Shed, the Admirals Row structure aside from Building B that was supposed to be preserved, has deteriorated beyond repair.)
