Connie Lee, Landmark East Harlem (President, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance + Public Art Initiative) on the day she said – we have to save this building.
In the Preservation World, success is measured by one Landmark at a time. Today Landmark East Harlem had great success when the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission Landmarked the Richard Webber Harlem Packing House, located at 207-215 East 119th Street in East Harlem, along with Benjamin Franklin High School and PS 109. All designated Individual Landmarks. Connie Lee (pictured above) was there to receive the good news.
Here is the Press Release from NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Congratulations on a job well done. See you all later at the Opening Reception of QUEENIE, new exhibition at Hunter East Harlem Gallery, right across the street.
