Community Board 7 voted against the New York Historical Society’s proposal to renovate the exterior of its landmark building on 77th Street and Central Park West. The society president said the community board had inappropriately linked the organization’s plans to renovate its exterior with its proposal to construct a 23-story residential tower behind the museum. Although the community board vote will not stop the renovation, it may influence the Planning Commission and Landmarks Preservation Commission’s rulings on the matter, which will decide the fate of the proposal. more [NYT]
