REMEMBER: A CORNER TURRET CIRCA 1910


Who can guess the location of this turreted tower townhouse in Harlem from the photo taken in 1910?  One clue is that the limestone building still stands today and currently has the record for the highest closing on a Harlem townhouse in 2015.  A current photo will be posted later on in the day.

ANSWER:  This Sugar Hill Location is on St. Nicholas Avenue right by 147th Street.  The corner townhouse closed earlier in the year for $3.75 million but might not be the record holder anymore for 2015.  Archival image courtesy NYPL
