The State and Federal Government now subside up to 40% of qualified rehabilitation projects through existing and new historic preservation tax credit programs.  Developers and homeowners have successfully used these credits to rehabilitate historic buildings for residential and commercial use. Come learn how to access State and Federal Historic Preservation Investment Tax Credits to maintain & rehabilitate historic properties.

If you own and/or develop buildings listed in the State and National Register, don’t miss it! This workshop is open to everyone! Whether your building is individually listed or a contributing resource to a designated historic district, join us and learn how to access these incredible benefits. While being listed on the National Register listing is honorific, there are no restrictions placed on private property owners.

Also learn about The New York Landmarks Conservancy‘s  programs to help save and enhance homes, community cultural and religious sites and neighborhoods. Over the past 40 years, the Conservancy has loaned and granted more than $36 million and provided countless hours of pro bono technical advice to building owners, both non-profit organizations and individuals.

The workshop will take place in the historic headquarters of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, 62 Mott Street between Canal & Bayard in Manhattan, a contributing resource to the Chinatown & Little Italy National Register Historic District. Chinese translation will be provided.

In conjunction with the Museum of the City of New York's Exhibit " From Farm to City: Staten Island, 1661-2012 " we will display some photos  (courtesy of The New York Public Library)  of old  farms on Staten Island   on our Blog .

Many farms also had fruit orchards growing various types of apples, pears, peaches, and figs. Manhattan was the primary market for the 18th and 19th century Yeoman Farmer of Richmond County. The only remaining working farm on Staten Island is the Decker

The Scott-Edwards House (Port Richmond/West Brighton)

Along with the lush grounds and gardens lovingly maintained by the owner, this Greek Revival house (renovations c. 1840) was originally built c. 1730 in the Colonial Dutch Farmhouse style.  This is truly a home out of the 18th century. The combined use of diverse building materials, including sandstone on the ground floor and wood clapboard on the upper half-story give this house its enduring charm.  The eyebrow windows under the eaves of the Portico make this an intriguing and mysterious structure.  The house sits on a parcel of land that was originally granted to Governor Dongan in 1677. The property was passed down to the Governor's nephew and then the investigation grows cold for the Revolutionary War period. Judge Ogden Edwards, the nephew of Jonathan Edwards (the famous American theologian noted for his sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"), then took possession of the house in the 1840s.  The Judge was also the cousin of the infamous Aaron Bur
