New York Landmarks Conservancy honors leaders in restoration of classic sites
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams honored for leadership in Erasmus Hall restoration
The New York Landmarks Conservancy filled Midtown’s venerable Metropolitan Club to honor the Schubert Organization, Walter B. Melvin Architects, President of Hunter College Jennifer Raab and Brooklyn’s own Borough President Eric Adams for their contributions to preserving, restoring and protecting some of New York’s classic architecture.
“The conservancy had been working to have Erasmus Hall restored since Marty Markowitz’s administration,” said NYLC President Peg Breen. “But when Eric Adams came into office, he understood the value of Erasmus Hall immediately. In addition to cutting through red tape, he put in more than $1 million to restore the exteriors of Erasmus Hall. It’s thanks to him that preservation of Erasmus Hall is now a reality.”
