Love Your Landmark #11- Public School 166

Public School 166, The Richard Rodgers School of Arts & Technology 

132 West 89th Street

Landmark love begins early on the Upper West Side!  Here, first graders from P.S. 166 gather to show their affection for their historic school (designated a NYC Individual Landmark in 2000).  It's not hard to see the appeal--who wouldn't love learning in this castle-like gem!  These youngsters prove that age is nothing but a number when it comes to loving your landmarks! 

Love, 

First Graders at P.S. 166

Come celebrate Roberta Brandes Gratz, Jane Jacobs, and fellow defenders of New York City at the annual Bard Birthday Breakfast Benefit on December 1 - details below! 

(Required reading is last week's New York Times City Room blog post about Roberta's feisty tenure on New York's Landmarks Preservation Commission...and her abrupt dismissal by Mayor Bloomberg.)
