Welcome to The Preservation League of Staten Island

Our Mission

The Preservation League of Staten Island (PLSI) is the only borough-wide historic preservation organization in New York City. Organized in 1977, the PLSI’s mission is to enrich Staten Island’s sense of community by promoting and advocating the conservation of its diverse and significant historic built environment and cultural landscapes. It has been active in advocating for preservation through various programs including a yearly awards program, a newsletter on preservation issues, home tours and technical assistance.

Join other members in our efforts to protect the irreplaceable historic treasures on Staten Island, as well as supporting PLSI's events that increase awareness of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.

Please take a look at our coverage on NY 1 and Join us at the next Community Board #1 Meeting- TONIGHT! Thank you.

Join us on Tuesday, Dec 13th for a Community Board 1meeting at 8 p.mTonight!  Make a statement of Support- 
  • the 'Castle' must remain and be a focal point of ANY redevelopment plan
  •  We are requesting a comprehensive assessment for the entire site and independent engineer be allowed on the site  to inspect the Castle, before action is taken.
  • The Dep't of Building's (DOB) current building report is incomplete, erroneous and has many generalities. Unsafe, does not mean unsound.
  • It is Fiscally Irresponsible for DOB to act to demolition with OUR PUBLIC funds.  

For over two years, the Coalition has been asking that funds be spent to 'secure' and 'weather-proof' the Castle anddemand a Community Vision for the 'Castle' and 6 acre site. We have the support of Councilwoman Rose and CB#1 to 're-purpose' the Castle.
