CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR HONOREES

2012 LIVING LANDMARKS CELEBRATION

New York has the greatest collection of architecture and the greatest gathering of “Living Landmarks” in the country. It is our pleasure to help maintain the City’s rich architectural legacy and honor the distinguished people who contribute so much to New York.

The New York Landmarks Conservancy is dedicated to celebrating, preserving and protecting the iconic buildings and diverse neighborhoods that define this vibrant and extraordinary City.

The Conservancy is the only private organization that provides both financial and technical support in this effort. Since its founding in 1973, it has loaned or granted more than $36 million to help people save their homes and communities, including cultural, religious and social institutions. These grants and loans have in turn mobilized over $1 billion in more than 1,500 renovation projects throughout New York providing much-needed economic stimulus and local jobs. No other organization is engaged in such a hands-on way in sustaining the City’s architectural fabric. Our work generates employment, promotes tourism and enhances the quality of life for all New Yorkers.

The Living Landmarks Celebration is a festive way to honor the people who help make New York “New York” and help the Landmarks Conservancy maintain its vital programs.
