Phil Reisman: Historic buildings are under threat An astonishing number of buildings of local historic interest are in danger of being demolished, if they haven't been torn down already.

New Rochelle poised to raze historic rowing club Seven years ago, the New Rochelle Rowing Club's building was recognized by
the City Council as historic.

Tuesday night, the council is expected to vote on awarding a contract for
its demolition.

The building, constructed in 1900 after a fire destroyed the club's
previous headquarters on the site, overlooks Long Island Sound on about a
quarter-acre of city-owned Hudson Park.

The structure was damaged nearly two-and-a-half years ago when Hurricane
Sandy hammered the East Coast.

Since then, the building has been a point of contention.

With club members contending it can be repaired, the city's Bureau of
Buildings has recommended the City Council vote Tuesday to award a $120,360
contract to Yonkers-based Capital Industries Corporation to level the
structure.

To speed the process, the city accepted three "informal" bids and did not
formally put the project out to bid, as is normally required for projects
exceeding $35,000, City Manager Chuck Strome said
