Radburn, a planned community dubbed “the town for the motor age,” was established by the City Housing Corporation, then headed by prominent New York City developer Alexander Bing, in 1928.  It was designed by planners and architects Clarence Stein and Henry Wright and landscape architect Marjorie Sewell Cautley and based on the tenets of Europe’s garden city movement, which emphasized green space and the ease of access to transit, industry, and commerce.  It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2005. 

The 2024 Trust grant will help fund the preparation of design and construction documents for the restoration of a historic pedestrian underpass/tunnel at Howard Avenue in the Radburn Historic District.  

The 2023 grant will help fund the preparation of a preservation plan for Grange Hall. Grange Hall was built in 1909, predating the Radburn Plan; however, it is considered a contributing building to the National Historic Landmark district. It was originally constructed as a cooperative for local farmers but has since served as a community center and office space for the Radburn Association.

The 2021 grant funded evaluation and schematic design documents for restoration of the contributing bridge, pedestrian underpass, and surrounding landscape at Howard Avenue in the Radburn Historic District.

The 2020 Trust grant funded the completion of an historic landscape master plan.
