This building is more than just bricks, it is part of our community's history and was a positive community fixture for many years. Th neo-medevial style of the building is unique on Staten Island and there are many memories associated with the building. Landmarking is not a cure all, but it would preserve the building and integrate it with any redevelopment plans for the sit. Landmarking requires additional oversight in a redevelopment plan and more community input than an 'as of right' DEVELOPMENT.
