LPC Decision on Riverside Apartments Makeover Postponed
The Landmarks Preservation Commission meeting scheduled for August 12th never got off the ground for lack of quorum. If it had, the commissioners would have discussed the proposed creation of a garage and parking area within the courtyard of 20 Joralemon Street, the 1890 building designed by Alfred White known as the Riverside Apartments. The two-level garage structure (the lower level of which would be below-grade) is proposed as part of a complete makeover of the building's courtyard, which was ripped apart by the creation of the BQE and later paved over by a previous owner. A decision on the plan, renderings of which are above, will now have to wait until September.

Seems like an attractive plan.
what would really be great there would be a glass dome or giant skylight to protect the garden and occupants from the BQE.
