He was 80 'The Godfather' Actor Brando Dies at 80 Jul 2, 10:32 AM EST Marlon Brando, who revolutionized American acting with his Method performances in "Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront" and went on to create the iconic characterization of Don Vito Corleone in "The Godfather," has died, his lawyer said Friday Adams' passion with Harlem dates to his childhood in Akron, Ohio He fights to keep entire buildings from being razed, and he fights to make sure that cornices on brownstones are painted the same color as the houses themselves Adams calls Walker's home Harlem's last mansion; it was demolished in 1942 to make way for a public library These pockets of beautiful neighborhoods â€â€? sometimes just a couple of blocks, sometimes a solitary building â€â€? have been key to Harlem's resurgence Once restored, the old mirror could fetch $400 or more They see the past as something from which to recover, not celebrate " Landmarking buildings, and neighborhoods, is one answer â€â€? like the Apollo Theater, on 125th Street But some see preserving those old buildings as a poor use of space It closed in the early 1980s and is being turned into an International House of Pancakes National chains such as Marshalls and Starbucks are popping up along Harlem's boulevards Caught in the middle, Adams says, are the architectural marvels that tell Harlem's story â€â€? how it began as a Dutch colony called Nieuw Haarlem in the 17th century, came to house the country estates of aristocrats, gave birth to the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and was a center for jazz and night life in the 1930s and 1940s and suffered an urban decay that lasted into the 1960s and 1970s A house on 136th Street once belonged to Madam C Regarded as Harlem's most beautiful apartment building, it is eight stories of wrought-iron balconies and an intricate curling design on stately light gray stone Some of Adams' fiercest opponents care just as passionately about the neighborhood but believe that many of Harlem's old buildings should make way for new ones Now hidden behind plywood and scaffolding, it's undergoing a $10 million renovation that will restore its terra-cotta walls to their 1942 look and bring back its famous blade sign â€â€? but with LED lights that can change in text and color Historian Fights for Harlem's Treasures Jul 30, 11:39 AM EST Michael Henry Adams strolls along Lenox Avenue in the middle of Harlem Above it rises Thurgood Marshall Academy, six stories of brick and steel, Harlem's first new high school in 40 years Adams moved to Harlem in 1985 Developers are knocking down crumbling office buildings, replacing them with modern constructions Adams disagrees they want to go to Harlem and they want to go to the Apollo," said David Rodriguez, the theater's executive director But the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission has thousands of buildings to consider and Robert Tierney, who heads the commission, says he wants to focus on New York's other boroughs "There are all kinds of entrepreneurial people trying to make a buck off the heritage and history of Harlem," Adams says with a shake of his head before he walks away For Phillips, the school is real progress in Harlem, and IHOP was a last choice after six years of trying to find a new tenant to preserve the interior "I think that Michael has to fight to preserve everything he can because if he only fights for the gems, then he's going to lose some of the gems J But vast stretches of Harlem declined in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, bringing the Renaissance to an end Phillips and Adams have squared off over the fate of Small's Paradise, one of New York's most famous jazz clubs His concerns have rarely been more relevant, as Harlem emerges from a half century of urban blight To him, every stripped-out hall mirror, knocked-down chimney or gutted building heralds the demise of an American treasure But few are as charismatic They make it one of the city's top five tourist destinations, according to the city's main tourism agency, NYC & Company He is angry about Graham Court, a landmark building on Seventh Avenue Developers desperate to recoup their losses began courting blacks, many had fled racial terrorism and economic hardship in the South and migrated North " The show, which runs through Jan There are also historic districts such as the five-block section of Mount Morris Park, dotted with townhouses and churches, Striver's Row and the Jumel Terrace Historic District â€â€? home to the yellow and brown row houses on Sylvan Terrace and the Morris Jumel Mansion between 160th and 162nd streets, where George Washington set up his headquarters after losing the Battle of Long Island in 1776 He calls destroying the club "cultural genocide Except for its roofing â€â€? six gables topped with finials that resemble the neck of a violin â€â€? it's an otherwise uninspired building on St Walker, one of America's first self-made women millionaires who made a fortune from hair-care products He recalls such Harlem success stories as Striver's Row, nine acres on 138th and 139th Streets, an oasis of intricately preserved row houses Meanwhile, Adams says, he just wants those who shape Harlem's future to tread carefully "It's adaptive reuses that we need to do instead of just the strict preservation," said Karen Phillips, who helped found the Abyssinian Development Corporation, which seeks economic development in Harlem Among the most evocative displays are items Adams has scooped up from trash heaps: rusted pieces of wrought iron fence, chipped balusters, a gold-painted chunk of plaster garland from the Audubon Theater, where Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965 " He wants more landmarking and has even sought to get all of Harlem on the National Register of Historic Places Harlem was the site of massive real-estate speculation in the late 19th century, and witnessed a marked collapse just after 1900 There are many who care just as deeply about Harlem as Adams, and several other architectural historians have charted its beauty "On any Wednesday night, we can have 200 people from Japan visit 'Amateur night,' because " The restraints are huge Known for his bowler hats, immaculate sense of style and tortoise-shell glasses, he's been called a "freelance preservationist" and an "uptown landmarks gadfly"; a colleague calls him "the Lone Ranger He is angry that chimneys have been knocked off the Marion Apartments "I think you have to significantly move things out but you have to save the gems," said architect Jack Travis The limestone and brick building with a small, decorative balcony on the top floor was designed by Vertner Woodson Tandy, the first black architect licensed in the state of New York "But as a result of that characteristic they are not always people who see practical realities or political restraints Such losses make Adams bristle and push him to fight even harder to preserve Harlem's past But the building was desecrated, Adams says, because most of its distinctive green, wooden window frames were replaced by gray plastic 4, 2004, details the history and architecture of Harlem, from 1765 to today, with scale-model homes, clothing, sculptures and lush photographs by Paul Rocheleau Nicholas Avenue A flowering of culture â€â€? in dance, in poetry, in song â€â€? soon followed They were was commissioned in 1891 â€â€? Roman-inspired, cream-colored brick in the middle block with brick and brownstone homes surrounding them, shrouded by elm and other trees whose leaves hang low over the streets in summer Adams, an architectural historian, sees Harlem's houses, apartment buildings, churches and libraries as memories of the neighborhood's defining role in American history â€â€? as home of Revolutionary War battles, the Harlem Renaissance, poet Langston Hughes and singer Ella Fitzgerald He stops to watch a worker from a nearby renovation scrape patches of cheap color from a mahogany hall mirror to reveal the brilliant red wood underneath " "These advocates all have a certain persistence in common â€â€? they are the irritant that causes the oyster to make a pearl," said Roger Lang, head of the nonprofit preservation group called the New York Landmarks Conservancy Young professionals looking for cheaper rents and good housing buys have moved from downtown, pushing up property values, while thousands of poorer Harlem residents have trouble keeping their homes from falling into neglect He remembers reading the catalog for the 1969 exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Harlem on My Mind," marveling that the neighborhood's stately buildings were populated by blacks Owners abandoned their buildings and much of Harlem hit bottom in the '70s; brownstones were shuttered, cemented up, left to decay Adams has laid out his image of what Harlem was â€â€? and the template of what he thinks it should be â€â€? in an exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York, "Harlem, Lost and Found As tourism grew and the neighborhood began lifting itself out of its decline, he began to feel the early rumblings of gentrification: affluent whites and blacks looking for a cheap place to live and willing to pay for well-preserved buildings that retained their high ceilings and large windows |
