In addition to advocating the addition of seven small areas to the existing Clinton Hill Historic District, the Society for Clinton Hill’s latest proposal to the Landmark Preservation Commission also highlights five individual buildings that the group believes are worthy of protection. They are, clockwise from top left, the Romanesque Revival 88th Precinct Station House at 298 Classon Avenue; the William Tubby-designed Unity Church at 182 Gates Avenue; the French Second Empire-style St. Mary’s Episcopal Church Rectory at 230 Classon Avenue, the the Francis Kimball-designed Loeser & Company Stable (currently occupied by the Salvation Army) at 2-20 Quincy Street, and the 1932 M.H. Renken Dairy Company at 584 Myrtle Avenue, an interesting example of early modern design. LPC, your move.
FG/CH Historic District Extensions: The Big Picture [Brownstoner]
if you own one of these buildings, get it started.
My bet is that it’s either 2-20 Quincy Street or 584 Myrtle Avenue.
It’s exterior work that is contextual to the block, but would not be allowed by landmarks.
Agreed 11.56, unless you’re planning on a tear down or some non-contextual exterior work, landmarking will increase your historic building’s value.
Please explain, 11:52? Landmarking usually ups the value of a building, unless you were planning on tearing it down, or severely altering it.
Does anyone know when this is going to be calendared by the LPC? I have a building that would have a serious negative financial impact from the landmarking.
