On Monday, March 6, Docomomo US and a coalition of advocates for the designation of 60 Wall Street (including the League) will release a letter urging the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate 60 Wall Street as an individual and interior landmark. This comes on the heals of the January 2023 vote by the Commission to allow the developer to make only modest changes to the exterior, essentially preserving the iconic colonnade and the essential nature of the building. The LPC previously noted "the building and interior POPS merit further study within the context of Postmodern commercial architecture and interiors."
Docomomo US and the coalition of advocates will meet in the POPS space at 60 Wall Street at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 6 to announce the letter and rally support for the designation. Please join us at the rally on Monday and urge the LPC to move forward now on the designation of 60 Wall Street before this outstanding example of architecture and history is lost.
