I'm writing to provide a quick update on my post from April - we got word at the end of June/beginning of July that the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to designate our neighborhood in Brooklyn as part of the historical district.
The letter said that the Commission "designated the district because of its special character, history, and aesthetics, along with its value as part of the development and cultural heritage of New York City."
As part of the presentation to get the vote passed, the Commission put together an incredibly detailed 288 paged report with maps, testimony, a thoroughly researched historical and sociological essay, pictures and a detailed architectural summary of each street in the newly extended historical district. I am truly amazed at the quality and breadth of work that went into this exercise.
The best part may be that our house is featured in one of the pictures, called out specifically for its "basement detail." How fun!
