Roberta Brandes Gratz is an urban critic, award-winning journalist and consultant based out of New York City. Her concept of “urban husbandry” is a flexible and effective approach to urban rejuvenation - one more about incrementally creating unique places and less about replacing large areas of downtown with expensive blockbuster projects. She illustrates how this organic, sustainable process promotes low-cost, community-based initiatives that capitalize on the inherent value in the existing built environment while promoting the care, management and preservation of urban neighborhoods. Gratz writes for The New York Post and lectures internationally on the topic of urban development. She is the author of The Living City: Thinking Small in a Big Way and Cities Back from the Edge: New Life for Downtown.
“A love song for the city... [Cities Back from the Edge], attractively packaged and richly illustrated, is really a cookbook for downtown revitalization.” -- The Wall Street Journal

Welcome!
Since 1974, Landmarks has been the leading voice for the preservation and restoration of historic, irreplaceable buildings, districts and sites in the Greater Utica Area.
We value the architectural richness of these structures, the special character they give to our neighborhoods and communities, and the contributions they make to our area’s economy, culture and quality of life.
Landmarks has played an active role in such projects as the rejuvenation and transformation of Union Station into a regional transportation and municipal center; saving 3 Steuben Park and maintaining the architectural integrity of the Rutger-Steuben Historic District; and the 2004 reopening of the Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center’s “Old Main” building as the Records Archive for the New York State Office of Mental Health.
Our members represent all ages, professions and walks of life – but come together to share a common enthusiasm for historic buildings, to raise public awareness of their importance, and advocate their protection and reuse in a variety of ways.
The Landmarks Society of Greater Utica was chartered by the State of New York on October 25, 1974, as a nonprofit educational corporation to preserve historic buildings and districts in the Greater Utica Area.
Landmarks’ offices are at 1124 State Street, Utica, New York 13502 // 315-732-7376 // info@uticalandmarks.org
