Occasionally, the Friends of St. Nicholas park will find something of interest about the rich history in Harlem. An article yesterday in the Gothamist highlighted that one of Harlem’s architectural gems, Sylvan Court, is not landmark protected and is in danger of falling into ruin (because of neglect and no protection).
Help us to persuade city, state officials or even celebrities (there are plenty in New York City these days) to landmark these buildings. And help the building owners get the help they need to restore these historic homes.
Write to the Mayor’s Office
