Congratulations to the Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association for their successful 21st annual house tour this past Sunday. The top photo is from the MMPCIA flickr site on the event and shows the one-and-only Harlem historian and preservationist, Michael Henry Adams, doing his thing in the first ever guided tour (which evidently was sold out). Check out the other photos and catch a glimpse of the folks who walked the tour this year: LINK.

The tour was amazing. So many beautiful homes. One question though...why is it so many Harlem homes still have SRO Restricted status as "YES"? A couple of the homes on the tour are currently up for sale, one on 12 Mount Morris Park West (this places was incredible...but it is 8 mill!) has this particular "YES" status.
ReplyDeleteAnybody know if this status will create problems getting permits for building a roof deck etc? If it isn't any longer an SRO, why doesn't the NYC housing authority switch them all to "NO"?
This was an outstanding House Tour.
ReplyDeleteBravo to the Team who put this together & all the Volunteers.
So that's the Townhouse that's for sale for $8 mil.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering which one it was.
Beautifully restored.

Ulysses - you are on the case.
ReplyDeleteMany times when I Google something local of interest, up pops H+B....complete with text, pic's and links.
Thank you & Creative blessings to you
Yeah, it was a beautiful house. Some of them were breathtaking. The old lady in the church was lovely too. So proud of her parish!
ReplyDeleteAnybody know what the guy 12 Mount Morris Park paid for his place? I tried looking it up and it is quite confusing.
Chris, I believe he has been there for 16 years, so likely a shockingly small number, however, his story in terms of renovation work and neighborhood change is probably very interesting.
