The Day They Talked About Landmarking a Topless Bar

Although the article focuses on the topless bar currently there, this is actually the 1798 home of Augustine Hicks Lawrence, one of the 24 merchants who founded the NY Stock Exchange, and one of our City's founding fathers. There is no way on God's green earth this importnt part of our city's and nation's history should be razed. To find out how it can be saved, email the West Street Coalition at saveweststreet@aol.com.
