"These six new individual landmarks build on our designation of the Stonewall Inn by recognizing some of the foundational locations for LGBT activism in the second half of the 20th century, important groups who fought for equality and provided support, and acclaimed African-American authors and activists whose published works have been inspirational to many people and whose legacy resonates today." "I am very proud of these designations, which recognize that despite the obstacles they faced, the LGBT community has thrived in New York City," said Landmarks Preservation Commission Chair Sarah Carroll. On the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and coinciding with World Pride NYC, LPC recognized sites important to LGBT history in New York City, in particular, places associated with groups and individuals that helped move forward the LGBT civil rights movement by creating political and community support structures, and by bringing LGBT cultural expression into the public realm. New York – Today, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) designated six buildings associated with the history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community as individual landmarks: The Caffe Cino at 31 Cornelia Street, Manhattan the Gay Activists Alliance Firehouse at 99 Wooster Street, Manhattan the Women's Liberation Center at 243 West 20th Street, Manhattan The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center at 208 West 13th Street, Manhattan the James Baldwin Residence at 137 West 71st Street, Manhattan and the Audre Lorde Residence at 207 St. From left to right, The Caffe Cino, the Gay Activists Alliance Firehouse, the Women's Liberation Center, The LGBT Community Center, the James Baldwin Residence and the Audre Lorde Residence.
