Striver's Row, Harlem
This group of dwellings on 138 and 139 Sts, between Frederick Douglass and Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Blvds, earned its current name because of the hard-working individuals who sought to live in them. New York building contractor David H. King, a prominent individual in the construction of the Statue of Liberty, hired four different architects to design the three rows of 1890s brownstones: McKim, Mead and White; James Lord Brown; Bruce Price; and Clarence S. Luce. For customized subway and bus directions to these locations, visit Trip Planner at www.tripplanner.mta.info. Photo Courtesy Felix Candelaria/NYC Transit.
