A greener future for a Brooklyn icon. 🌱🏛️

Today DCAS, Brooklyn Museum, and the New York Power Authority announced in partnership a substantial $48 million energy efficiency project that will modernize the Museum’s century-old building with solar power, revamp the HVAC systems, and add a new high-efficiency heating plant, as well as other sustainability improvements.

When complete, the project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 3,300 metric tons annually—the equivalent of removing 725 vehicles from the road.

By investing in energy-efficient upgrades at cultural institutions, some of which are over 200 years old, we are future-proofing these historic spaces while lowering emissions for generations to come.

With Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month coming to a close, we were proud to join celebrations across New York City honoring the culture and immense contributions of AAPI communities.

For Commissioner Kitasei in particular, DCAS’ first commissioner of Asian descent, the month was special, recognizing not only the achievements of the past but also those being made today. As she noted at one of her stops, “when we celebrate AAPI Month, we’re not just celebrating history; we’re also celebrating the making of history.”

Thank you to all of our agency partners, including NYC DOT and members of the community who joined us in celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. We will continue to highlight and uplift next generation of trailblazers and the historic firsts still to come.

to one of Queens’ most historic landmarks 🏛️

Located near the corner of Thomson Avenue and Court Square, the Long Island City Courthouse has stood at the center of Queens history for more than 150 years.

The courthouse was originally built between 1872 and 1876 after the Queens county seat moved from Jamaica to the newly formed township of Long Island City, then a growing transportation hub connected by multiple rail lines. Designed by architect George Hathorne in the French Second Empire style, the building quickly became one of the borough’s most important civic landmarks.

After a devastating fire gutted the courthouse in 1904, Long Island City architect Peter M. Coco redesigned the building using the original foundations and walls. His reconstruction added two additional stories and transformed the courthouse into the neoclassical structure seen today, complete with grand Ionic columns, marble staircases, wood-paneled courtrooms, and a skylit courtroom on the third floor.

Over the decades, the courthouse became the setting for notable trials, Hollywood films, and famous New York stories, including the trial of Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray and appearances in films by Cecil B. DeMille and Alfred Hitchcock.

In 1976, the Long Island City Courthouse was officially designated a New York City Landmark and added to the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places.
