ABSTRACT
During the years that Felt’s zoning revision dominated the land-use policy landscape of New York City, all the pressures driving preservationists to seek some form of protection for landmarks exponentially increased. In these long years, losses in their neighborhoods had sustained, advanced, and inflamed the advocacy efforts that were unfolding in Brooklyn Heights and Greenwich Village. The rest of the city had suffered from the same destructive forces. A series of unfolding preservation crises would help begin to spread the preservation gospel to a larger audience.
