Summary
| Description |
The Countee Cullen Branch of the New York Public Library, located at 104 West 136th Street near the corner of Lenox Avenue inthe Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1942 as an extension of the 135th Street Branch, which is now part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. It was designed by Louis Allen Abramson in the Art Moderne style, and was named after African American poet Countee Cullen. The building was restored in 1988. The site of the library was once the residence and hair parlor of Madam C. J. Walker, the first female millionaire, who made her money in hair care products and moved to a mansion in Irvington, New York. (Source: AIA Guide to NYC (5th ed.)) |
