Committee supports 17 East Ninth Street stoop restoration with design conditions and requests for revisions
Summary
An application to restore the brownstone stoop, area way and entrance surround at 17 East Ninth Street was reviewed; the committee supported the restoration but requested revisions to vestibule depth, entry entablature, lighting and ironwork.
An application to restore the stoop, area way and entrance surround at 17 East Ninth Street drew detailed comment from Manhattan’s Landmarks Committee on historic precedent, sidewalk intrusion and design details.
The project team presented elevations and precedents and said the design follows a traditional brownstone stoop: a bluestone stair, powder‑coated steel railings, a cast brownstone surround (Veracast) and an ebony‑stained mahogany entry door. The applicant said they had obtained preliminary revocable consent from the Department of Transportation and the Parks Department (to protect a pagoda/pagoda‑style tree pit) and that the proposed area way complies with ADA and DOT minimums.
