""For more than a century, the PS 15 Annex has stood in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn as a community anchor, making it well deserving of landmark designation.""
""Immigrants built New York City. Their stories live in every block, every neighborhood, every corner of the five boroughs.""
The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Public School 15 Annex as an individual landmark, recognizing its historical significance since its construction in 1889. The building served Brooklyn's growing immigrant population and housed the influential Girls' Continuation School in the 1920s, which provided educational opportunities for young women. This designation highlights the school's role as a community anchor and its importance in the narrative of public education in New York City. The LPC also designated two other buildings, emphasizing the city's immigrant history.
