An important example of this is Washington 00:05:50 --> 00:05:50: Square Park, 00:05:50 --> 00:05:54: which was developed in 1826 when the city transformed what 00:05:54 --> 00:05:57: had originally been a Potters field. 00:05:57 --> 00:06:01: An burial place for the Pour into a public park. 00:06:01 --> 00:06:05: The surrounding area quickly became the city's most fashionable neighborhood, 00:06:05 --> 00:06:09: where the wealthiest New Yorkers lived in the single family 00:06:09 --> 00:06:10: residential type. 00:06:10 --> 00:06:12: Most characteristic of New York.

  • Plague Diary by Margaret Porter Troupe
    Plague Diary Margaret Porter Troupe, Graham Court Apartments, Harlem, New York City April 4, 2020 By the time I start this diary, I’ve been sheltering in since March 20th. The last person who’s visited us inside the apartment was Monique Clesca. She came to lunch here. We sat apart and neither of us wore facemasks. We elbow bumped and didn’t shake hands or kiss. I waited 14 days to see if I had symptoms of Covid-19. The police arrived yesterday and made the people who hang out in A. Phillip Randolph Square Park, (formerly Dewey Square), drinking, loitering, littering, and just being an eyesore and nuisance, leave the park. This little triangular park is directly across the street from Graham Court and where Miles Davis and other beboppers playing at Minton’s during the 1940s used to come to shoot up or do whatever they did there in-between sets. Minton’s is around the corner on 118th Street between 7th Avenue and St. Nicholas. The police or parks people removed the benches too and put up a chicken-wire fence at the entrances to keep people out. Now those people come across the street and congregate under the scaffolding in front of Graham Court. There’s a lot of drug dealing going on too. It feels quite a bit more unsafe around here lately. Must keep antenna raised for trouble. Woke up today thinking about my friend Cynthia, who was sounding scary to me yesterday as we discussed how we’re both feeling. I’ve been having congestion the last eight days and she has been having symptoms too but don’t know whether to attribute them to her blood pressure medication, pollen (it’s Spring now and everything’s bursting in bloom) or the novel coronavirus, Covid-19.

  • Mount Morris Park Neighborhood Is a Residential Area in Central Harlem, Bounded by 125Th and 117Th Streets from North to South, by Adam Clayton Powell Jr
    A Guide to Historic New York City Neighborhoods Mou n t Mor r i s Par k Manhattan The Historic Districts Council is New York’s citywide advocate for historic buildings and neighborhoods. The Six to Celebrate program annually identifies six historic New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation as priorities for HDC’s advocacy and consultation over a yearlong period. The six, chosen from applications submitted by community organizations, are selected on the basis of the architectural and historic merit of the area, the level of threat to the neighborhood, the strength and willingness of the local advocates, and the potential for HDC’s preservation support to be meaningful. HDC works with these neighborhood partners to set and reach pres- ervation goals through strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and publicity. The core belief of the Historic Districts Council is that preservation and enhancement of New York City’s historic resources—its neighborhoods, buildings, parks and public spaces—are central to the continued success of the city. The Historic Districts Council works to ensure the preservation of these resources and uphold the New York City Landmarks Law and to further the preservation ethic. This mission is accomplished through ongoing programs of assistance to more than 500 community and neighborhood groups and through public-policy initiatives, publications, educational outreach and sponsorship of community events. Six to Celebrate is generously supported by The New York Community Trust and HDC’s Six to Celebrate Committee. Additional support for the Six to Celebrate Tours is provided by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and New York City Councilmembers Inez Dickens, Daniel Garodnick, Vincent Gentile, Stephen Levin and Rosie Mendez.

Built 1883-84; architect Mortimer C. Merritt. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1927, Lot 33. On July 15, 1991, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Washington Apartments and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 9). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eight speakers were in favor of the designation of this and the other items on the calendar at the hearing but urged the Commission to continue its work in Harlem. Numerous letters have been received expressing the same sentiments. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The Washington Apartments, built in 1883-84 for the speculative developer Edward H.M. Just, was the earliest apartment building constructed in central Harlem. This eight-story brick building, with stone, iron, terra-cotta and pressed brick trim, was designed by the talented and productive architect Mortimer C. Merritt in the popular Queen Anne style, incorporating neo­ Grec details. Merritt created a lively and picturesque composition using contrasting materials, and provided textural interest through the use of projecting balconies and cornices, a prominent overscaled frontispiece, and numerous decorative panels. The extension of the elevated transit lines, which by 1881 connected lower Manhattan to 129th Street, served as an impetus to the development of this area, previously the location of small farms and shantytowns. The amount of real estate speculation and new construction which occurred in Harlem from the 1880s through 1904 was unmatched in New York's history.
