Each historic district has an association to uphold preservation standards and President John Stewart, by all accounts, is doing an admirable job in the Van Wyck Brooks district.
It brought to mind some others who succeeded in getting broader attention for the city's preservation movement and its historic housing stock. John DeMarco got the attention of The New York Times and John Grady and Dorothe Pollard wrote a book. Years ago, Residents Supporting Victorian Plainfield organized house tours and a picnic to showcase historic housing stock here.
