The two rows of 1890’s brownstones on 138th street and 139th street in Harlem known as Striver’s Row were originally built for middle and upper middle class white families, but in the 1920s and 1930s, they started attracting wealthy and influential African Americans, including W.C. Handy and Eubie Blake, as well as, many other African American who have excelled in Law, Dentistry, and the Arts. Though the neighborhood is racially mixed these days, the renovated townhouses, where units can cost up to $1 million+ each, are still home to several prominent blacks.
