Fields Court
The building in this photo is Fields Court, a pre-war apartment building in Harlem, New York City. It is located at 1878 Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard (Seventh Avenue), at West 114th Street.
Fields Court was built about 1899-1900 and was originally known as The Victor Hugo apartments. It was also know as The Beatrice, circa 1919.
It was renamed Fields Court in 1997 in honor of former Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields, who helped residents of the building get the building renovated and converted into a low-income co-operative (coop) apartment building.
