Preserve NY Grant for East Village Preservation: Today GVSHP received a $13,000 grant from Preserve New York, a grant program of the Preservation League of NY State and the NY State Council on the Arts, for our East Village Preservation Project. The grant will allow GVSHP to complete research and documentation of the history of approximately 2,400 buildings in a 75-block area between 14th Street and Houston Street, Fourth Avenue/the Bowery and Avenue D. GVSHP will then use this information to propose landmark protections for the area. All the information generated by this research will also be made available to the public through our website and through a published report about the history of the East Village made possible by the grant.
GVSHP is incredibly grateful to the Preserve NY program, which funded similar successful efforts by GVSHP to document and advocate for the preservation of Federal-era (1790-1835) houses in Lower Manhattan, the Meatpacking District, and the South Village.
