UVAN building marks centennial

NEW YORK - The building of the Ukrainian Academy of the Arts and Sciences in the U.S. (UVAN), which was declared an architectural landmark by the City of New York Landmarks Preservations Commission in 1989, is celebrating its centennial this year.

The century-old building, built by renowned New York architect James Brown Lord, was originally a part of the New York Free Public Library. In order to preserve the historic edifice's distinguished status, the commission calls for a variety of renovations in compliance with various building codes and regulations. The UVAN building must replace its window frames and new floors are needed, as well as a new heating system.

The UVAN leadership is anticipating help and support from friends and members. In addition to financial aid, consultations with architectural engineers, as well as with skilled and qualified workers, would be appreciated. All interested parties are invited to contact the UVAN office, 206 W. 100th St., New York, NY, 10025.
