Chair Kamillah Hanks ran a quiet but consequential landmarks docket. The headliner: the Landmarks Preservation Commission's interior designation of architect Paul Rudolph's apartment duplex at 246 East 58th Street in Manhattan, home of the Modulightor building Rudolph co-founded the Modulator Lighting Company in 1976 and built in phases from 1993. LPC's Margaret Herman testified that four people spoke in support at the LPC hearing plus ten written submissions in favor, and that the all-white duplex is the only publicly accessible Paul Rudolph interior in New York City.
