Dear Neighbor:

As temperatures cool down and the holiday season warms up, here's a special gift from LANDMARK WEST! to our neighbors in the glorious landmark San Remo Apartments (Emery Roth, 1929-30).  

 

Renew your membership before December 1, and we'll send you a set of 10 high-quality, large-format postcards celebrating the building and its West 74th Street brownstone neighbors (see image below). This wintry scene, by acclaimed photographer (and long-time Upper West Sider) Cervin Robinson, makes for the perfect greeting or thank-you card to use now and throughout the year!

 

LW! membership begins at a modest $50 per year and includes:

• Discounted priority admission to our ever-popular, always sold-out public programs, including walking tours, lectures and more (visit our events calendar)
• Opportunities to participate in free, family-friendly programs offered throughout the year (perfect for spending quality time with the kids and grandkids)
• Advance ticket offers for special events, such as our annual Unsung Heroes of the Upper West Side awards celebration and extraordinary Landmark Feast farm dinner
• Behind-the-scenes access to the Upper West Side's most beautiful and intriguing landmarks

As an Upper West Sider, you know there's good reason for people to love this place. And a big part of that reason is preservation -- the direct result of LW's daily work to care not only for our neighborhood's architecture but its soul. To learn more about all we are doing right now to preserve the soul of our neighborhood -- your neighborhood! -- please visit our website and blog .    

 

As architecture critic (and former San Remo neighbor) Paul Goldberger said in a recent interview:

 

The Upper West Side is not going to be frozen nor should it be frozen.  LANDMARK WEST! will always have a role in the neighborhood's ongoing health and preservation.  You can never put a neighborhood on auto-pilot.  You can never say, 'the work is done.'

 

The steady level of real-estate development activity on the West Side despite the economic recession, is a clear sign that we can't afford to lower our guard or rest on our laurels. Not now, not ever.

 

Your neighborhood needs you! Please join LW! today and help us continue to defend--and celebrate!--your building, your block, your home. Your San Remo postcards are ready for hand delivery...
