The landmarks and aesthetics committee of Community Board 2 approved a resolution supporting Joseph Pell Lombardi's application for a certificate of appropriateness from the Landmarks Preservation Commission for the conversion of the commercial building at 459 Broadway to residential condominiums.
Mr. Lombardi is one of the city's premier converters and his plan for 459 Broadway involves a restoration of its ornate sandstone facade, the removal of fire-escapes, and a small rooftop addition.
A major part of Mr. Lombardi's plan includes the recreation of the building's original arcades along both Broadway and Grand Street and the restoration of granite sidewalks.
The building, which is located on the southwest corner at Grand Street, was erected in 1861 and is known as the D. Devlin Building.
The very handsome building has 47 feet and 4 inches of frontage on Broadway and 112 feet and 8 inches on Grand Street.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission will hold a hearing on the application March 7.
