| {The most noted photographer of the Harlem Renaissance, James Van Der Zee had his G.G.G. Photo Studio in the basement of this building designed by Charles H. Beer, 1885-86. Van Der Zee's most famous photographs chronicle the Harlem Community of the 1920's and 30's. From birth to death, in church and on the street, Van Der Zee recorded how people inhabited Harlem and its buildings. The Schomburg Center for Research in Black History has many of his photographs in their collection. | |
