The Dorrance Brooks Square Historic District is associated with notable African American figures of the Harlem Renaissance. It features a striking collection of residential and religious structures designed by prominent New York City architects and that form cohesive streetscapes.

embellished through-block arcade and elevator hall.
A three-story school building built 1849-50 by the Public-School Society of New York City and used by African American students and teachers from 1860 to 1894.

The Renaissance Revival-style Hotel Cecil was home to Minton’s Playhouse, the legendary nightclub where the pivotal style “bebop” emerged and flourished in the 1940s, redefining jazz and American music.
