New York State Waterfront Historic Resources Survey
AKRF completed a historic resources survey and documentation as part of post-Superstorm Sandy resiliency work.
Our work took place in New York City and Westchester, Rockland, and Orange Counties for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
We led the reconnaissance and intensive survey of over 2,000 properties by a team of 36 CFR Part 61-qualified architectural historians who used mobile technology developed for the project to collect field data using tablets. Our team prepared historic contexts for each neighborhood in the study area, and identified, researched, and documented a wide variety of individual resources and historic districts.
The project newly identified hundreds of individual historic resources and several waterfront historic districts throughout the survey area. AKRF also reevaluated previously identified historic buildings and historic districts.
