Preservationists protest Frick expansion plan ahead of approval vote

In a letter to the LPC vice chair Frederik Bland, the Cultural Landscape Foundation’s president, founder and chief executive Charles Birnbaum says that the revised plan to be put before the LPC “is headed in the right direction, but a 12inch change in the dimensions of Page’s signature design element on the north wall does not accomplish the task”. The letter closes: “The museum has already proved itself a capable steward of many great works of art; it need only apply the same rigorous standards to the Page garden.”
