__NOTOC__ Admiral's Row is a row of Second Empire style homes formerly used by naval officers in the New York City borough of Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and owned by the National Guard.〔(Admiral's Row ), Fort Greene Association.〕 Some of the homes date back to the Civil War. Although the U.S. Navy closed the original Navy Yard in the mid-1960s, it continued to house some personnel in the officers’ houses until the mid-1970s. ==Review== The property is currently undergoing a Section 106 review by the National Guard. In April 2008, they launched a website in order to invite public involvement in the proceedings. An open meeting was held in July 2008, where the public was asked to weigh in on the preservation of the structures. The results of that meeting are published on the National Guard website, as well as considered in the Alternatives Report for the site. Although Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation president Andrew Kimball has claimed that the residences have been damaged beyond repair by the elements, the report prepared by the United States Army Corps of Engineers refutes this claim, suggesting that the residences are not only excellent candidates for rehabilitation, but meet all eligibility requirements for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, both individually and as a district.〔http://www.nan.usace.army.mil/business/buslinks/admiral/pdf/report.pdf 〕The New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has agreed with this assessment and has suggested that alternatives to demolition, including adaptive reuse, must be considered.〔http://www.nan.usace.army.mil/business/buslinks/admiral/pdf/letterNRHP.pdf 〕 In November 2011, the City Council approved a plan to rehabilitate the more stable buildings for retail space, and demolish the unstable ones.〔(Admiral's Row to get Partial Rebirth ) AM New York〕 Most of the houses are set to be demolished eventually, leaving "Quarters B" and the "Timber shed".〔(Historic Admiral’s Row at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to be leveled ) By Erin Durkin NEW YORK DAILY NEWS〕 In January 2012 the property was demilitarized, transferred to the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation. In May 2015 a new large Wegmans grocery was announced for the site, to open in 2017. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Admiral's Row」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
