Following the city’s approval Monday to build an oversized building in place of a recently demolished 1862 row house at 178 Bleecker Street, the Greenwhich Village Society for Historic Preservation led neighborhood activists in protest of the new construction. Locals say the proposed eight-story building would violate zoning restrictions and would tower over its neighbors, including the MacDougal Sullivan Gardens Historic District, which is comprised of 22 identical 3.5-story row houses from the 1840s. A public hearing will be held next Tuesday regarding the landmarking of 30 percent of the neighborhood, which does not include the site at 178 Bleecker Street.
