On entering its gracious lobby, your instincts tell you that theres something special about this prewar gem. A magnet for Harlem Renaissance luminaries, poet Countee Cullen lived here as did Jules Bledsoe, the first major Black opera star in the U.S. as well as Adam Clayton Powell Sr. and his son, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston wrote most of their storied play, Mule Bone, here at The Garrison, a coop since 1929.

Apartment 24, is a gut renovated apartment that exudes prewar charm high ceilings, a wood paneled living room, a decorative fireplace while offering all the comforts of modern living. EVERYTHING HERE IS NEW - including a new kitchen with wood cabinets that reach the ceiling, LG appliances, new tiled bathrooms, one with a clawfoot tub and the other an accessible shower, new floors and new recessed lighting.
