We are pleased to report that the Landmarks Preservation Commission balked at a recent proposal to construct a large addition atop the iconic building at 69 Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District, a building we were able to get landmarked in 2003 as part of the Gansevoort Market Historic District. Village Preservation strongly opposed the application, which would have overpowered the distinctive Art Moderne facade of this building which once housed the restaurant Florent.
