Preservation Long Island would like to thank the Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze Underwriters of our 2019 Country House Gathering for their generous support of our June 28th annual benefit. As we celebrate our seventy-first year, our donors and members help us to continue the legacy of our founder, Howard Sherwood, and our earliest members to work with Long Islanders to protect, preserve and celebrate our cultural heritage.
“The historic interior at St. Paul’s School in Garden City is comprised of invaluable assets that should not be removed” – Tara Cubie, Preservation and Advocacy Director, Preservation Long Island.
In a recent Letter to the Editor of The Garden City News, Preservation Long Island expressed concerns regarding the potential approach of facadism at St. Paul’s School in Garden City, New York.
Listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, St. Paul’s School is one of the most substantial historic buildings on Long Island, and included on our 2010 Endangered Historic Places list.
While there is overwhelming support to save the exterior of this remarkable building, St. Paul’s rooms, stained glass windows, oak trim, intricate ironwork, and tilework interiors contribute to the school’s authenticity. They should be safeguarded with the utmost priority.
Garden City residents deserve the best, which requires a thoughtful restoration of St. Paul’s that preserves and celebrates this historic landmark's interior and exterior. Click below to read our full letter.
