Facade Improvement at 469 Myrtle Ave

You may have noticed the sidewalk bridge at 469 Myrtle Avenue (it was put up on Friday, June 22nd). The owners of the building have decided to undertake a facade rehabilitation. We're supporting this project with funding through the New York Main Street (NYMS) grant program, which provides us with resources to promote historic improvements on the avenue in order to maintain the rich building stock and to strengthen the economic vitality of traditional "Main Streets" throughout New York State.

Work will include the following:

Re-pointing
Rehabilitation of cornices
Restoration of cast-iron columns
Removing paint from bricks
New brownstone sills and lintels

The project should be complete in about a month. Once it's finished, we'll begin work on the storefront to expand the front part of the store and to give the building a consistent, fresh look.

On the ground floor is Move with Grace, an exciting place where you or your family can do yoga or take all kinds of dance lessons. Visit the website here.
