Mount Morris Architecture
This wonderful house on the corner of West 121st Street and Mount Morris Park West in Harlem and is a fine example of the archtiecture of the late nineteenth century. Redevlopment in other Manhattan neighborhoods during the age of "urban renewal" did away with such architecture on a big scale, but, ironically, such plans largely neglected Harlem - gee, I wonder why? - and left architectural gems like this one to be (re)discovered by future generations who were more interested in preservation.
This block anchors the Mount Morris Park Historic District ,whose boundaries are North from West 118th to West 124th Streets and West from Fifth Avenue to Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard . There is also "Doctor's Row", which is West 122nd Street, Mount Morris Park West and Lenox Avenue/Malcolm X Boulevard.
