The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) has announced three new grants awarded through its Historic Preservation Grant Program, which provides funding and technical support to low-to-moderate-income homeowners and non-profit organizations seeking to repair landmark properties. The October 2025 grant recipients include two residential properties in Queens and Brooklyn and a non-profit site in Staten Island.
The awarded projects include a $35,000 grant for 115-80 222nd Street in the Cambria Heights-222nd Street Historic District in Queens, covering door replacement and stained-glass restoration, and a $35,000 grant for 1228 Dean Street in the Crown Heights North Historic District in Brooklyn for brownstone façade and stoop resurfacing. In Staten Island, Frederick Douglass Memorial Park, an individual landmark and historic African American cemetery, received $35,000 for partial roof replacement.

The LPC also announced the completion of grant-funded restoration work at several previously awarded sites, including three properties in Brooklyn’s Alice and Agate Courts Historic District: 5, 14, and 16 Agate Court. These projects received grants between $20,000 and $24,000 for work such as window and front door replacement. Additional recently completed work includes properties in Queens’ Addisleigh Park Historic District and The Bronx’s Manida Street Historic District, among others.

“We are deeply grateful to the LPC Historic Preservation Grant Program for supporting the restoration of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Park chapel roof,” said Lynn Cuffee, secretary of the Frederick Douglass Memorial Park board. “This investment ensures the protection of a landmark that honors African American history and community heritage for generations to come.”

Historic designations & restorations? When the President’s masked secret police storm trooper goons enter NYC in full force, will he use his magical Sharpie to order his dilapidated Jamaica Estate birthplace in Queens to be converted into a grand historic Federal shrine? …perhaps with an added ornate ballroom? Hopefully, when this increasingly dark authoritarian chapter of American history has been flushed down our Fearless Leader’s gold toilet, we will do as the Germans did when they converted Hitler’s birthplace into a building that celebrates human tights & dignity instead of serving as a shrine for followers to worship wanna-be-dictators who trample upon basic freedoms…
