MAS Proposed Downtown Landmark #1
Where: 376 Fulton Street When: 1870 Why: A fine example of cast-iron commercial construction capped by its original mansard roof. The building is located next to Gage & Tollner and adds historical context to that landmark building. Architecturally Significant Buildings [Municipal Arts Society] GMAP

I agree with malymis. Thank goodness for Landmark preservation or we’d have little left in NYC.
Reading last coments i think that Americans have long way to go before they start to appreciate they own heritage. It is sad, so little respect for essence of the city, its own history. If downtown brooklyn would not have buildings like that it could have been anywhewre.
History defines locum. Remember penn station?
Anyway sorry for spelling and grammar but it is combination of being forein and a bit dislectic.
Yup, and back when this building was going up, people were deriding them as “cheaply” built and designed, because they were using cast-iron and not the real thing like limestone….I guessed the longer you last, the more precious you become…Soon we will lament the fate of all those ugly building in Billysburg. Oh..they were so nice and indicative of the roaring 00s. We have to save them…
Can someone please explain to me the latest landmark craze?
Think a moment, somebody worked hard for his money, bought a building, paid from HIS pocket for it, and how in the world do people have the nerve and Landmark his building for good, because a few Hundred years ago someone that looked like Elvis Presley peed in front of it.
It’s getting so absurd when you see the Buildings and properties that are being landmarked.
Come on, this is not the Statue Of Liberty, or the Capital, it’s a nice building somewhere in Brooklyn, and yet people really think that in years from now, everyone will thank the person who stood up and “saved†the building from those “evil†owners.
I don’t think of anyone or any building specifically, it’s just my personal feelings about this whole landmark craze.
That would be great. Now the real reason that it currently looks terrible is all those aweful sign covering the entire facades of the buildings. Are there any laws that regulate signage?
