LESPI’s Outdoor Photography Exhibit and Celebration — “Brick and Stone: Landmarking our Lower East Side Heritage”

LESPI’s outdoor exhibit, “Brick and Stone: Landmarking our Lower East Side Heritage” showcases photographs and histories of some of the LES’s most remarkable historic buildings — all of which deserve to be landmarked. The exhibit just opened and already it’s been turning a lot of heads. Stop by Grand Street at the Church of St. Mary (east of Clinton St.) to check it out.

And be sure to join us September 15 for an illustrated lecture, “Landmarking our Lower East Side,” which will discuss the history and preservation challenges facing some of the Lower East Side’s most important architectural and cultural treasures. The lecture will be followed by an informal reception.

JOIN US FOR OUR ILLUSTRATED LECTURE AND RECEPTION:

When: Tuesday September 15, 6:00-8:00PM.

Where: Church of St. Mary, Grand Hall, 440 Grand Street — entry is at the east side of the church toward the rear, below church sanctuary.

DON’T MISS LESPI’S OUTDOOR PHOTO EXHIBIT:
