Hotel Theresa at ACP/7th Avenue and 125th Street is still one of the grandest structures in Harlem and looking up from the sidewalk will always provide the average passerby with a glimpse of some new detail not noticed previously. We happened to notice the charming row of small balconies that line the lower levels on our last visit and also admired that the windows were restored in a more historically appropriate manner. This local landmark is owned by Columbia University and apparently is used as office spaces but was originally the preferred overnight destination for all of the famous guests who have visited Harlem in the past century.
Hotel Theresa is such a signature of Harlem and 125th street, glad to see Columbia are preserving it, the work has been going on for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteCurrently the Adam Clayton Powell Office Building and Hotel Theresa dominate the skyline, but that may not be the case in the not too distant future.
