Trifecta! Crown Heights North gets a third historic district
Trifecta for Crown Heights North preservationists!
The city Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to grant historic district status to a portion of the neighborhood known as Phase III, following long years of effort by neighborhood activists.
It’s the third section of Crown Heights North to win landmark status in the past eight years.
“I’m very excited about this,” said Meenakshi Srinivasan, the agency’s chair, who applauded Phase III for its cohesive collection of handsome homes and its “very rich social and political history” during a public meeting at the LPC’s Lower Manhattan headquarters.
