Winter 2009: Preservation Vision

January 12th, 2009 by PHPO Blogger

Several PHPO members were attendees and volunteers at the closing session of Preservation Vision: Planning for the Future of Preservation in New York City, a year-long initiative in response to Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC. The aim was to engage preservationists in a conversation about their hopes for New York City by the year 2030 and the actions needed to make them a reality. But for the cold, the day long session could not have been held at a better venue than the Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue. In the midst of a major restoration, the armory boasts the finest collection of intact 19th Century interiors in the country, designed by such important artists as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford White and the Herter Brothers. The massive Drill Hall is one of the largest column-free spaces in the city!
