Beverly Moss Spatt

Beverly Moss Spatt (May 26, 1924 – July 14, 2023) was an American historical preservationist in New York City.[1] From 1974 to 1978, she served as the first female chair of the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), and continued as a member through 1982.[1][2] Under her leadership, 800 sites were designated as historical landmarks.[1] She helped to save Grand Central Terminal from demolition, joining forces with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.[3][1][4]

Spatt was appointed to the City Planning Commission by Mayor Robert F. Wagner in 1965, but Mayor John V. Lindsay refused to reappoint her in 1970.[1][5]
