Harlem Bespoke: Some good news arrived this week for preservationist since the Dorrance Brooks Square Historic District by Strivers Row has now been approved by the city. The Landmarks Preservation Commission did the final review and everything got the green light which means the endangered church at the corner of 140th and Edgecombe will not be demolished to make way for a residential tower. This is also the first historic district named after an African-American in NYC and so the moniker is definitely befitting for Harlem. Read more about the complete history in our past post: LINK
