It's up to "an obscure city board," which meets this Tuesday, to decide what to do about the Hopper-Gibbons House, Manhattan's only documented Underground Railroad stop. The house's owner, Tony Mamounas, has already put an additional floor on the landmarked building and ignored orders from the city to take it down. Now, state and local politicians have joined the fight, calling for the city to vote to have the historic building restored. [NYDN; previously]
