Lefkowitz State Office Building is a prominent part of Manhattan’s Civic Center in New York City.[1] Designed by William Haugaard, State Architect for the State of New York, the Lefkowitz Building is home, among other things, to the Manhattan Marriage Bureau.[1] HistoryGovernor Al Smith laid the building’s cornerstone on December 18, 1928.[2] At the ceremony, Smith declared that he “pray[ed to] God it may stand here through the ages as a testimonial to the people of this great commonwealth.”[2] The building opened in October of 1930, and was originally home to the New York State Departments of Taxation, Finance, and Motor Vehicles.[3] Originally known as the New York State Office Building, the State renamed it in honor of Louis J. Lefkowitz, then the longest-serving Attorney General of New York, in 1984. [1] In 2002, the State transferred the building to the City of New York, which began using it for marriages in 2009.[4] The City moved the Manhattan Marriage Bureau to the Lefkowitz Building's ornate first floor lobby in order to better compete with wedding destinations such as Las Vegas.[5] These matrimonial duties later rendered the Lefkowitz a monument to LGBTQ New Yorkers, as 293 couples wed there on the day same-sex marriage became legal in 2011.[6][7] Proposed Reuse or DemolitionIn August 2018, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Department of Correction announced a plan to renovate or demolish the Lefkowitz Building in order to build an expanded jail as part of its plan to close Rikers Island. [8] Historic preservation groups, including the Historic Districts Council and New York Landmarks Conservancy, oppose the plan.[9][10] “Though marriage is supposed to be forever, Mayor de Blasio wants to give this temple of love an ugly divorce,” wrote preservationist Adrian Untermyer in Gotham Gazette.[11] In 2018, the Historic Districts Council formally requested that the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission evaluate the Lefkowitz Building for designation as a New York City Landmark.[12][13] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/html/about/man_louislefkowitz.shtml|title=DCAS - About DCAS - Louis J.
