The Aluminaire House saga goes on. Sunnyside Post reports that Community Board Two voted against the controversial plan to build a residential development around a historic aluminum house at 39th Avenue and 50th Street, in the Sunnyside Gardens Historic District. The community vocally aired its concerns about the proposal since it came to light over the summer. At the full board meeting, both State Senator Mike Gianaris and Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer chimed in in opposition. Congressman Joseph Crowley also sent a representative to state that he opposed the plans. Residents are concerned that the Aluminaire House is not contextual to the rest of the historic district and are not happy with the building materials proposed for the residential development. Unfortunately, the Landmarks Preservation Commission moved its vote on the matter from tomorrow to October 15th. We can hardly wait to see how this one shakes out…
