A proposal has been submitted to the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) for the rehabilitation of a vacant and derelict townhouse at 134 West 130th Street in Harlem, Manhattan. Built in 1910, the structure stands three stories tall and contains seven dwelling units. If approved, work will be led by developer Thierry Rignol with design by Andre Architecture, D.P.C.

Design documents feature material references such as painted bronze cladding, satin bronze anodized windows, cast-in-place concrete, light gray English stucco, and matching brick and grout. Notably, the proposal includes a 180-square-foot addition in the rear of the existing structure. Rear elevations and block plans show the proposed extension is consistent with or smaller than several neighboring rear yard additions in both height and depth.
