    On August 2, 1967, the Landmarks Preservation Commission made the 22-house MacDougal-Sullivan Gardens a historic district, with No. 186 and the rest of Nos. 170 to 188 Sullivan Street inside its boundary. At the hearing the president of the residents' association spoke in favor, and seven homeowners were individually recorded in favor, while one speaker and two written statements opposed. The commission praised the uniform architecture of the two rows and called William Sloane Coffin's idea of communal gardens revolutionary when first tried.
