In honor of Halloween, we always like to republish one of our most popular post about Harlem's own Harry Houdini:Upon becoming successful in both fame and love, Harry Houdini moved into a Harlem brownstone that he would live in until his death in 1926. The house was just completed in 1904 in a predominantly German and Jewish portion of the newly developed uptown neighborhood. Houdini bought the property for $25,000 and moved in with his wife Bess. Not only was it his home space, but also his office and work studio. The Harry Houdini House is located at 278 West 113th Street by FDB/8th Avenue and is apparently a rental these days.
