96th-110th Street Survey Project

LW! is embarking on a careful study of 40+ blocks of our neighborhood (96th to 110th Streets, Riverside Drive to Central Park West). Our plan is to:

• photograph the facade of every building, from West 96th to West 110th Street
• document each building, gathering data on materials used, architectural
  styles, current conditions, dates of construction, and names of architects
• recruit volunteers to help collect this information which could ultimately save
  our neighborhood from losing its character
• determine the potential for future Individual Landmarks and Historic Districts
• create a comprehensive inventory of our richly diverse architectural heritage

The map below indicates the area to be surveyed – use it to track the progress of the survey project
in the forthcoming months.

Volunteer to help with this survey! Please send an email to our coordinating intern, Cristiana Peña, at cap2148@columbia.edu, letting her know when you’re available to survey (ie: weekdays or weekends?).
