Bowery: Difference between revisions

In October 2011, a Bowery Historic District was registered with the [[New York State Register of Historic Places]] and therefore was automatically nominated for listing on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. A grassroots community organization named Bowery Alliance of Neighbors (BAN) in association with the community-based housing organization called the Two Bridges Neighborhood Council led the effort for creation of the historic district. The designation means that [[property owner]]s will have financial incentives to restore rather than demolish old buildings on the Bowery.<ref name="Clark">{{cite news|url=http://manhattan.ny1.com/content/top_stories/149619/bowery-lands-spot-on-state-historic-registry |title=Bowery Lands Spot On State Historic Registry |last=Clark |first=Roger |date=October 25, 2011 |work=NY1.com |access-date=October 26, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403141100/http://manhattan.ny1.com/content/top_stories/149619/bowery-lands-spot-on-state-historic-registry |archive-date=April 3, 2012 |df=mdy }}</ref> BAN was recognized for its preservation efforts with a [[Village Award]] from the [[Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation]] in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bowery Alliance of Neighbors: 2013 Village Award Winner|url=http://gvshp.org/blog/2013/06/06/bowery-alliance-of-neighbors-2013-village-award-winner/|website=GVSHP.org|access-date=29 May 2015}}</ref> The historic district runs from [[Chatham Square]] to [[Astor Place]] on both sides of the Bowery.<ref name="nris-bowery">{{NRISref|2013a|dateform=mdy|date=February 20, 2013|access-date=July 8, 2024|refnum=13000027|name=The Bowery Historic District}}</ref>
