STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — STAPLETON — The architecturally diverse hideaway that includes one-block-long Harrison Street — and sections of Quinn, Brownell and Tompkins streets — may be on its way to designation as a Historic District by the city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC).
The agency describes the tiny area, also known as “The Nook,” as “a rare surviving mid-to-late-19th-century residential village enclave in New York City.”
The frame and masonry buildings, most of them constructed from the 1840s through the early 1900s, provide “a significant reminder of the period when Stapleton was an important business center and transportation hub, and one of the most populous villages on Staten Island,” LPC notes.
