On April 19, 1965, Mayor Robert F. Wagner signed the Landmarks Law of New York City. In the years since the Upper West Side has benefited from its protections in the form of 3 Scenic Landmarks, 4 Interior Landmarks, numerous Individual Landmarks, 10 Historic Districts and 3 Historic District Extensions. Follow along to the progress in honor of the Landmarks60 Alliance each Friday as we update the timeline revealing UWS Landmarking History!
