The Cottages and Gardenat 78th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan is an astonishing, historically significant site that deserves to be preserved. The New York Times called it "one of the great multiple dwellings in the city..." and in a later article about the adjoining 7,000 square foot garden, "...a delightful amenity...a gracious touch in a city where public and private rarely mix." Singled out and praised since it was built in 1937, this site has never had a designation hearing or public scrutiny and is now endangered. |
This site is being threatened and must be calendared immediately by the Landmarks Commission if we are to have a chance to preserve a beautiful and architecturally unique answer to 1930's New York!!

Please contact our elected representatives and let them know you are grateful for their support but need to ask them to take it a step further. Ask Senator Goodman, Assemblyman Ravitz, and Councilman Eristoff to intercede with Mayor Giuliani to have Chairman Raab calendar the site for a public hearing. Let them know you share our concern and that you support them going to the Mayor.
Please let our other elected officials know you are grateful for their continued support and attention to this important landmark site.
