The Integrity of Illusion: Balancing Civic History and Spatial Wellness at 63-65 Charles Street
On September 1, 2026, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously approved (9-0) Docket LPC 27-01049, permitting the structural combination of the 1866 sister rowhouses at 63-65 Charles Street. The decision allows complete interior party wall removal and a 12-foot cellar excavation, provided the developer maintains a vertical historic two-building delineation on the restored front and expanded rear facades.

Three bids for the same banquette are not three prices for one thing. They are three different objects wearing the same word.
