Dear FRIENDS,
In recent months, building proposals for two exceptionally important sites on the Upper East
Side burst into the news: an enormous addition proposed for the FRICK COLLECTION and a new
apartment tower next to the PARK AVENUE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
These two proposals remind us how important landmark protections are to our neighborhood,
and how astonishingly insensitive development proposals can be. Despite 50 years of
experience since our Landmarks Law was passed, and despite the spectacular success of historic
districts like ours, naysayers still challenge the values and even the legitimacy of preservation.
That's where FRIENDS comes in. From the micro -- the examination of alterations to your
EFTA01002701
favorite storefront -- to the macro, an owner's challenge to the constitutionality of the
Landmarks Law itself, FRIENDS speaks up and speaks for YOU.
Happily, our work at FRIENDS is not always so defensive. We are also intensely proactive,
completing this year a photographic survey of all the buildings between Lexington Avenue and
the East River, from 59th Street to 96th Street, nearly 200 blocks and thousands of structures.
We undertook the survey in anticipation of the many changes that are likely to come with the
completion of the Second Avenue Subway, and in recognition of the threat posed by the
outrageous "supertowers" cropping up in Midtown.
And, we have our very popular education program for children, whom our founder, Halina
Rosenthal, called "low-rise people." Indeed! We proudly teach over 1,200 children from East
57th Street to East Harlem every year.
Your financial support is critical to all these efforts, providing about 20% of our modest annual
budget. We depend on concerned citizens like YOU so that we can be an effective advocate, and
are very grateful for your support.
If you believe in the livability and sense of place of the Upper East Side, please consider
making a year-end donation today.
Warmest wishes to all,
IFranny Signature
