We’re excited to share that the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) voted today to landmark the South Village Historic District, a two hundred forty-building, thirteen-block section of Greenwich Village south of Washington Square Park, and the second phase of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation’s (GVSHP) proposed South Village Historic District (the first phase of which was landmarked in June of 2010).  GVSHP first proposed landmark designation of the South Village ten years ago, and submitted a formal landmarking proposal with boundaries to the City in 2006.

GVSHP will hold a celebration and look at “next steps” for preserving the South Village tonight from 6 to 7 pm at Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker Street in the newly-landmarked South Village Historic District (and the space previously occupied by the historic Village Gate Theater).  The celebration is open to the public and all are welcome!
