Mission Statement
The New York Landmarks Conservancy, founded in 1973, is dedicated to preserving, enhancing, revitalizing, and reusing architecturally significant buildings in New York City and, on a limited basis, New York State. Through pragmatic leadership, financial and technical assistance programs, advocacy, and public education, the Conservancy ensures that New York’s historically and culturally significant buildings, streetscapes, and neighborhoods remain a legacy to be used, appreciated, and enjoyed by all who live in, work in, and visit New York.
About This Cause
For 45 years, The New York Landmarks Conservancy has demonstrated that preserving and reusing historic buildings provides jobs, creates homes, promotes tourism, and adds to the vitality of New York. To these ends, it has provided both financial support and technical expertise in this effort, investing some $50 million to preserve thousands of architecturally and historically important buildings. Conservancy staff provide pro bono project management and technical assistance to private property owners, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and caretakers of religious properties. Most projects are in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods and involve the rehabilitation of buildings that provide affordable housing; or serve as religious, community, and cultural centers; or accommodate businesses; or provide tourist destinations; or are combinations of these uses. As a reasoned and respected voice for preservation, the Conservancy often leads major campaigns on important issues and promotes sound preservation laws and policies at the federal, state, and local levels. Its early successes include initiatives that saved the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, now the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian on Bowling Green; the Fraunces Tavern block in Lower Manhattan; the Survivor’s Staircase at Ground Zero; the Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in Brooklyn; and the Federal Archive Building in Greenwich Village.
