Project: EAST HARLEM NORTH CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY
Grant Amount: $12,000
Ascendant and Landmark East Harlem, along with other local stakeholders, will use their 2022 Preserve New York grant to identify potential individual State and National Register listings as well as the boundaries of potential new historic districts. This work follows previous reports also funded through Preserve New York grants in 2019 and 2021. Preservation consultant Bill Morache will undertake a reconnaissance level survey of the northern portion of the neighborhood of East Harlem in Northern Manhattan. The study area is a diverse, mixed-use enclave within the larger Harlem community. The study area encompasses the blocks bounded by East 115th Street to the south, Fifth Avenue/Marcus Garvey Park to the west, and the East/Harlem Rivers to the north and east, respectively. Ascendant, and its partners in the Landmark East Harlem alliance, successfully worked to list the East Harlem Historic District on the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 2019. Ascendant and LEH secured a determination of eligibility for the proposed East-Central Harlem Historic District in 2020, and they are working on a nomination to list that historic district in 2022.
