The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is set to review a proposal to modify the six-story building at 43 Bleecker Street in Noho, Manhattan. Assembled by ADB Associates, the application includes plans for window replacement and selective façade restoration as part of a selective restoration. Built around 1896, the property is located between Lafayette Street and Bowery within the Noho Historic District Extension.

The proposed scope of work focuses on restoring the historic window configuration while upgrading existing units. All windows across the primary Bleecker Street façade will be replaced with new aluminum-clad wood windows designed to replicate the original double-hung configuration. The masonry openings will be retained, and existing stone sills and lintels will be repaired or replaced in kind where necessary.

Historic photographs included in the submission show a consistent window pattern dating back to at least 1940. The proposed work is intended to align with these historic conditions.
The property is located in close proximity to the 6, B, D, F, and M trains at the Broadway–Lafayette Street/Bleecker Street station.
The LPC is set to review the proposal on July 15.

So glad the LPC is tied up with this common sense restoration instead of wasting time on all the beautiful ornamental parapets being stripped off buildings across the city thanks to unintended consequences of Local Law 11.
Beautiful building
