☆ Does New York City Really Need These Giant 5G Towers?
  + stars: | 2024-06-10 | by ( Dodai Stewart | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
This is Street Wars, a weekly series on the battle for space on New York’s streets and sidewalks. A thrilling glimpse of New York City history is on display at the intersection of West 12th Street and Washington Street in Manhattan. The three-story Federal-style brick building on the southeast corner was built in 1842. So when the city proposed placing a shiny new 5G tower on a corner there, neighbors were not happy. “There is a harm to having these 32-foot tall futuristic towers, often with large video display terminals on them, in residential neighborhoods in historic districts,” he said.

☆ Little Spain Is All but Gone. Will Our Lady of Guadalupe Be Next?
  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( John Freeman Gill | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a Catholic house of worship on West 14th Street, is a grandly inventive architectural oddity and the mother of all Hispanic storefront churches in New York City. Manhattan’s first church created for a Spanish-speaking congregation, it was cobbled together out of two adjacent rowhouses in 1902 and 1917. But the seminal Spanish-language church was deconsecrated by the Archdiocese of New York in January, paving the way for its potential sale, alteration or demolition. On May 23, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission designated as a landmark the former Colored School No. 4 on West 17th Street in Chelsea, the last-known “colored” schoolhouse remaining in Manhattan from the city’s segregated 19th-century school system.

One of the earliest sites of gay rights activism is officially New York City’s newest landmark. Located at 159 West 10th St., just a short walk from fellow historic gay bar Stonewall Inn, Julius’ has been open since the 1860s. It started attracting gay patrons in the mid-20th century, and, according to the conservation nonprofit group Village Preservation, it’s the city’s oldest existing gay bar. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 for its significance in the gay rights movement. A photo of the moment went down in gay rights history.
