St. Saviour's 1847 church in Maspeth with its accompanying parcel of land, an instant park that ideally coincides with the mayor's NYC 2030 vision for parkland!!!

211-215 Pearl Street in lower Manhattan - a last relic from the city's early trade center. 211 Pearl contains an intriguing brickwork symbol believed to be the work of Ithiel Town, founder of the city's first architectural firm. More info: http://www.historicpearlstreet.com

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation is poised to tear down historic Officers' Row for a Stop-and-Shop supermarket! The potential for the development of tourism in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, one of the country's most important historical sites, is being foolishly and irrevocably destroyed.

the Richmond Hill Republican Club...it is a landmark, but deserted and dilapidated, with Simonson's funeral home next door ready to be demolished, God only knows what the excavation will do to the Republican Club's foundation, you know how much developers care about anything!

The Ward Bakery and Long Island Railroad Stables buildings in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Both historically noteworthy buildings are under imminent threat from developer Bruce Ratner's neighborhood-gobbling "Atlantic Yards" project.

St. Thomas the Apostle is facing a perilous moment. The Arch surreptiously made plans to remove the windows and give them to a church upstate. No one was informed of the plan. Read this article: http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061218/NEWS01/612180328/1006

St. Saviour's Church on Maspeth Hill, a wonderful place with a history going back to a time when Maspeth was woodland and DeWitt Clinton had a country house across the street. It could be destroyed very soon.
