PACNY Presents Life in the City: An Open House and Discussion

Here is an opportunity to explore Holland Street on the West Side, and to learn some pros and cons of city living. Holland Street, and nearby West Onondaga, boast many fine houses, but the urban fabric has been whittled away over past decades.  Learn what some home owners have been doing to maintain the neighborhood and their fine late 19th-century homes.

Please support PACNY by becoming a member to create a larger voice for preservation in Central New York. Membership forms will be available. 

The member-based Preservation Association of Central New York has been the area’s citizen voice for historic preservation for over 35 years. Founded as a reaction to the widespread neglect and demolition of historic buildings and neighborhoods in the 1960’s, PACNY has led the successful effort to transform our community’s perception and care of its historic resources so that now the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County now have more than a dozen historic districts which contribute to the region’s cultural and economic vitality.
