2023 Gratz Grant Supports National Historic Landmark in Utica

The League’s annual grant from the Donald Stephen Gratz Preservation Services Fund was awarded to the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica. The $12,000 grant will fund restoration of the portico at the Miller-Conkling-Kernan Residence at 3 Rutger Park. This 1830 Greek Revival mansion was designed by noted Albany architect Phillip Hooker. Because of its architectural significance and its association with several prominent historical figures, the house is a designated National Historic Landmark (NHL) — one of only two NHLs in Utica.
