USA: Big Turnout For Bialystoker Home Landmark Designation Hearing

USA: Big Turnout For Bialystoker Home Landmark Designation Hearing
by Samuel D. Gruber


There was a big turnout at the public hearing today (February 12) on the proposed designation of New York's former Bialystoker Home  as a protected New York City Landmark.   Several dozen people spoke on behalf of designation and no one spoke against.  I wrote a letter - similar to my recent blogpost - that was read into the record by a member of Friends of the Lower East Side. 

You can read more about the testimony here in an article on The Lo-Down, and about some possible prospects for the 1931 Art Deco tower.
