Today, the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted to designate the First Hungarian Reformed Church (a.k.a. 344-346 East 69th Street) designed by Emery Roth and built from 1915-1916 and the exteriors of the National Society of Colonial Dames building (a.k.a. 215 East 71st Street) designed by Richard Henry Dana Jr. and built from 1929-1930 as Individual Landmarks.

We are thrilled that the Commission has recognized two of the many sites in Yorkville that speak to the neighborhood’s unique legacy as a home for a wide variety of immigrant communities and the institutions which served their many cultural, religious, and social needs. FRIENDS has enthusiastically supported these designations and we look forward to the recognition (and hopefully designation!) of other buildings in Yorkville.
