Prince’s Bay Lighthouse on Staten Island.
This week saw the New York City landmarks preservation commission designate ten new buildings, bringing the total this year to 27, and clearing a 50 year backlog. Amongst the sites recognised are the Bergdorf Goodman department store, churches in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Harlem and an early farmhouse on Staten Island.
I know change is inevitable, and cityscapes change, but I love the preservation of history like this. Memorials to an ephemeral past.
