Crown Heights North gets a new landmark
It's a former East New York Savings Bank branch on Eastern Parkway
The historic East New York Savings Bank is gone, gone, gone.
But a branch in another neighborhood will live on. Or at least it won’t be torn down unless, at some hard-to-imagine moment in the future, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) gives the go-ahead to the wrecking crews.
The building that is now under the the LPC’s protection is the savings bank’s former Parkway Branch at 1117 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights North. On Tuesday, commissioners voted unanimously to designate the building as an individual city landmark.
