The New York Landmarks Conservancy has announced the winners of the 2025 Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards, which honor excellence in historic preservation. This year, several Brooklyn landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge and Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch, received recognition for their restoration efforts. The award ceremony is set for April 22, showcasing the work of preservationists and enhancing public awareness about the importance of maintaining historical sites. Peg Breen, president of The New York Landmarks Conservancy, emphasized the celebration of vision and determination in preserving these properties.
The 'Lucy's' celebrate amazing preservation projects from throughout the city that might otherwise remain unheralded. It's a lively evening showcasing the vision, determination and love people have for their historic properties.
The Brooklyn Bridge underwent a five-year restoration, a project overseen by the NYC Department of Transportation. It included extensive conservation efforts on the bridge's granite, limestone and brick structures.
Brooklyn Bridge shines brighter at night with a new LED lighting system, further enhancing its status as one of the city's most recognized landmarks.
Another Brooklyn landmark receiving recognition is the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Arch at Grand Army Plaza. The restoration included structural stabilization, cleaning, and the installation of new features.
