Greenwich Village Historic District 50: The Making of the Greenwich Village Historic District with Mosette Broderick and FrancisMorrone

Greenwich Village Historic District 50: The Making of the Greenwich Village Historic District 
Monday, January 28, 6:30pm
Church of Saint John’s in the Village, 224 Waverly Place 

In 1969, Greenwich Village preservationists, activists, and neighbors celebrated the victory of the designation of the Greenwich Village Historic District. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the designation, and we’re marking this golden anniversary with programs throughout the year addressing the district’s history, preservation, architecture, culture, and much more.

We begin this year of programming with a multimedia panel, telling the story of how the district was won. What were the Village preservation efforts that directly led to the designation? Originally, the city had proposed a dozen little districts but came to do the “one big one” – how did that come to be? Why wasn’t the district extended all the way west to the Hudson River, as Jane Jacobs wanted?
Panelists include:
* Andrew Berman, Executive Director of Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation
* Susan De Vries, Preservation Historian
* Professor Francis Morrone, Architectural Historian
* Professor Mosette Broderick, Director of Urban Design and Architecture Studies and Historical and Sustainable Architecture Programs at New York University

Co-sponsored by the New York Preservation Archive Project and the Church of Saint John’s in the Village
This event is fully accessible

This week saw the publication of Piero di Cosimo: Painter of Faith and Fable (Brill, Leiden and Boston), co-edited by our Dennis Geronimus and Michael W. Kwakkelstein. This collection of thirteen essays sprung from a conference at the Dutch University Institute for Art History in Florence in September 2015, hosted by Dr. Kwakkelstein and organized by Professor Geronimus. It, in turn, followed on the heels of two exhibitions on Piero di Cosimo at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
