In 1971, this neighborhood was designated a Historic District by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, one of the earliest landmarked districts in the five boroughs. It encompasses a 16-block area in Central Harlem, going north from West 118th to West 124th Streets and west from Fifth Avenue to Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Boulevard (Seventh Avenue). The district includes a remarkable cross-section of late 19th- and early 20th-century residential and church architecture representing all of the various eclectic styles associated with the Gilded Age. "Doctors' Row" (West 122nd Street), Mount Morris Park West, and Malcolm X Boulevard demonstrate the remarkable survival of substantially unaltered 19th-century streetscapes, rare in most areas of Manhattan.
When we are finished touring you will enjoy a lunch at one of our local restaurants.
Let Welcome to Harlem walk you through this wonderful neighborhood. You will have an experience that you will not soon forget.
