About Waterfront Preservation Alliance
WPA is a neighborhood-based organization that has been working for the past year to identify and designate historic structures in north Brooklyn. Greenpoint & Williamsburg are undergoing major changes that will dramatically change the face of our neighborhoods. As we move forward into the future of Greenpoint & Williamsburg, our aim is to ensure that vital connections to the past are retained, through the preservation, reuse and rehabilitation of the historic buildings that define the character of our neighborhood.Support this cause by going to Galapagos on April 26th, or at least show up to drink free beer and hear the sweet and heavy sounds of Sub Pop's Oxford Collapse, Dischord's Antelope, Frenchkiss' Rahim, and DJ's Micah Welner and Jackson Pollis. Flyer below...Among the significant resources identified by MAS, the following are among the most architecturally and historically significant:
* Domino Sugar refinery buildings (Kent Ave.)
* Eberhard Faber Pencil factory buildings (Greenpoint Ave & Kent)
* McCarren Park Pool Center (Lorimer St.)
* Matchett Candy Factory building (390 Wythe)
* Weidmann Cooperage (75 North 11th)
* Rokeach & Sons Building (240 Wythe)
* Old Dutch Mustard Co. (80 Metropolitan)
* Harte & Co. Building (280 Franklin St.)
* 143 Roebling Street
* 55 Hope Street
More Antelope dates here.

Does anyone plan on living in this area very long anyway? When I want historic old townes, I'll move to one.
