Grant to NOHO NY Business Improvement District
In 2006, the NOHO NY Business Improvement District undertook an initiative to replace streetlight on West 10th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues with more historically accurate lamps. With the help of the Trust, the group was able to replace the lamps with Bishop’s Crook lampposts, which were located throughout the city beginning in the early 20th century and remained in place into the 1960’s.
From 2004 to 2005, the Trust supported the restoration of cobblestones on Bond Street located in New York City. Historically, the streets of New York were lined with cobblestone. This project brought Bond Street back to its roots and it is once again lined with cobblestone.
