Landmark Plaques

Great Source: NY Times on the topic

The program will be run by the Landmarks Preservation Foundation, headed by Barbaralee Diamonstein. She served on the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission for 15 years until her resignation in March.

Ms. Diamonstein is planning a benefit party in November to raise the $150,000 to $200,000 needed to fabricate the plaques, which would be installed by city crews and furnished at no cost to owners.

From 1957 to 1976, 309 Landmarks of New York plaques were installed by the New York Community Trust, a philanthropic organization. Only 197 remain, according to a recent survey by the New York Landmarks Conservancy.
