Walking Tour of Proposed LES Historic District
Sunday, July 15
2:00 – 3:00 pm
Meet at the corner of Hester & Forsyth
We’ve received a special invitation from LESPI board member (and GSD member) Helena Andreyko:
The Lower East Side Preservation Initiative (LESPI) was honored to receive the support of the Grand Street Democrats for the proposed historic district on the LES, and is delighted to invite members of GSD for a free tour of the proposed district, Sunday, July 15, 2:00 pm.
Our tenement buildings have been home to waves of immigrants for generations and were once the center of one of the most vital and bustling centers of commerce in the City. Their facades reflect an era of intricate design and construction that would never be replicated today, but whose intricate features are rarely noticed by pedestrians hurriedly passing by.
Please join Richard Moses, President of LESPI, for a one hour tour as he points out buildings and the beautiful features that make our neighborhood special and worthy of historic designation.
The tour is free but we request an RSVP below.
