The Brokaw Mansion, A Landmarks50 Event with FRIENDS

The Brokaw Mansion, A Landmarks50 Event with Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts
Following the completion of Central Park, upper Fifth Avenue became New York City’s most desirable address, where prominent families constructed opulent mansions. Within a generation they were quickly replaced with the latest trend – luxury apartment buildings. The Brokaw Mansion met this sad fate and was demolished in 1965. But all was not lost! Public outcry and scathing press led Mayor Wagner to sign the landmarks legislation into law. Join FRIENDS as we explore and celebrate this catalyzing moment in the history of the Landmarks Law as part of the commemoration of its 50th Anniversary!

6:30 p.m.
The Ukrainian Institute, 7 East 79th Street
