Dear Mr. Fraser:
Thank you for requesting the comments of the Division for Historic Preservation of the Office of
Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) as part of your SEQRA process. These
comments are those of the Division for Historic Preservation and relate only to Historic/ Cultural
resources. They do not include potential environmental impacts to New York State Parkland that
may be involved in or near your project. Such impact must be considered as part of the
environmental review of the project pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(New York Environmental Conservation Law Article 8) and its implementing regulations (6
NYCRR Part 617).
We have reviewed your submission for the 385 Broadway redevelopment project. We note that
385 Broadway is a non-contributing building within the State and National Register listed
Broadway Historic District. We understand that the proposed project will include development of
the existing building for mixed residential and commercial use.
Because the building is non-historic, we have no concerns with any interior work. Any
renovations to the façade should be appropriate to the surrounding historic district. In addition,
we have no archaeological concerns associated with this project.
If this project will involve state or federal permitting, funding or licensing, it may require continued
review for potential impacts to architectural and archaeological resources, in accordance with
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act or Section 14.09 of NYS Parks Recreation
and Historic Preservation Law.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at (518) 268-2164.
Sincerely,
Weston Davey
Historic Site Restoration Coordinator
