Office Space - Harlem, NYC

The neighborhood of Harlem encompasses the area from the East River west to the Hudson River between 155th Street.  It then meets Washington Heights to the south.  Harlem is broken into several districts including West Harlem, Central Harlem and East or Spanish Harlem.  Harlem has a rich and often tumultuous history.  It has included many boom-and-bust cycles that have brought significant ethnic changes with each one.  Its residents have been predominantly African-American since the early 1900’s.  It is home to the famous Apollo Theater which is located on 125th Street, the heart of Harlem’s business district.  The Harlem Renaissance, which took place during the 1920’s and 1930’s, helped redefine how America, along with the world, viewed the Black population and it’s culture.
