Save the IRT Powerhouse

IRT-main.jpg

The BRT powerhouse is pretty much toast by now, but the IRT powerhouse on West 58th Street in Manhattan is slated to go before the Landmarks Commission for a designation hearing in July. The IRT plant was designed by McKim, Mead & White, and has already been heard by LPC twice (first in the 1970s, then in the 1980s) - in both cases, LPC took no action. Its an incredible building (as was the BRT plant) - if you agree, sign the petition.
