In One Fell Swoop, Landmark Commission Clears Five Decade Backlog — Adds Ten Sites to Registry

Ten more sites across the city were designated as city landmarks Tuesday.

This move completes the Landmark Commission's effort to clear up a 50-year-long backlog.

Among the new landmarks are the Bergdorf Goodman Building and Loew’s 175th Street Theatre, more recently known as United Palace in Manhattan.

Brougham Cottage in Staten Island also made the list.

During an 18-month period, the commission brought the number of sites granted landmark protection to 27 across the five boroughs.

The decisions were based on public outreach and research.

Earlier designations include the Pepsi Sign in Long Island City, Prince’s Bay Lighthouse in Staten Island, and Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
