14-16 Fifth Avenue

Take Action

Urge City Officials to Oppose the Demolition of the 170-Year-Old 14-16 Fifth Avenue.

Village Preservation is fighting a plan by a developer to demolish this 170-year-old house in the Greenwich Village Historic District which has been home a series of historic figures and replace it with a dramatically out-of-scale high-rise tower.
