Some of their early accomplishments include passage of the city's <a href="/wiki/1916_Zoning_Resolution" title="1916 Zoning Resolution">first zoning laws</a>, contributing input to the planning of the <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_IRT_subway_before_1918" class="mw-redirect" title="History of the IRT subway before 1918">city's subway line</a>, and the commissioning of public art throughout the city. </p><p>By the 1950s, scores of notable Manhattan buildings were lost to redevelopment around the city, and the mission of MAS broadened to include historical preservation. In 1956, the Society successfully lobbied for the passage of the Bard Law, which for the first time allowed cities to take aesthetics, history, and cultural associations into account for zoning laws. The law, named after longtime MAS board member and chief advocate, Albert S. Bard, provided a legal foundation for the New York City Landmarks Law, enacted in 1965. </p><p>In 1965, public outrage over the destruction of <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_Station_(1910)" class="mw-redirect" title="Pennsylvania Station (1910)">Pennsylvania Station</a> and the Brokaw Mansion helped fuel the Society's mission towards preservation. With like-minded groups, they finally succeeded in establishing New York's <a href="/wiki/Landmarks_Preservation_Commission" class="mw-redirect" title="Landmarks Preservation Commission">Landmarks Preservation Commission</a>, and New York's Landmarks Law. </p><p>In 2001, after the demise of <a href="/wiki/Trans_World_Airlines" title="Trans World Airlines">Trans World Airlines</a>, the original <a href="/wiki/TWA_Flight_Center" title="TWA Flight Center">Trans World Flight Center</a>, completed in 1962 and designed by <a href="/wiki/Eero_Saarinen" title="Eero Saarinen">Eero Saarinen</a>, fell into disuse.
