At the Heart of Our Mission:
The Powerhouse
The fight to preserve Jersey City’s 1908 Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse sparked the creation of the Landmarks Conservancy 27 years ago. Today, this industrial giant still stands — but it needs us. Join the movement to protect our city’s most powerful landmark and ensure its story lives on.

Join the Movement to Save the Powerhouse
The non-profit Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy was organized in 1999 to help lead the public battle to save the iconic Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse on Jersey City’s waterfront. That fight — now in its 27th year! — continues today as this last-of-its-kind industrial monument is increasingly pressured by the unstoppable pace of development and the realities of structural deterioration brought on by decades of neglect. Join our Save the Powerhouse preservation movement and community campaign by attending our walking tours and other special events — because the Powerhouse needs us, and it’s time to power it back on!
