PS 186 Nominated to Become Historic Site

The State Board for Historic Preservation nominated Dattner Architects’ The Residences at PS 186, along with 19 other New York sites, to be selected as a historic site! Gov. Andrew Cuomo recognizes that these designations will “help ensure the storied sites and places that dot every corner of this state, will be preserved for future generations of New Yorkers.” Once a neighborhood eyesore, PS 186 has been restored to its civic role in the community, a clubhouse for kids has been created, and much needed affordable housing provided for a deserving community. This historic and remarkable building is once again the pride of the neighborhood, and we look forward to the next stage of approval to have PS 186 placed on the state and national registries.
