Florence Mills House, Historic residential building in Harlem, Manhattan, US
The two-story residence at 220 West 135th Street stands among similar structures from the early twentieth century in the northern section of Manhattan.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this location in 1976 as the presumed residence of African American performer Florence Mills during the 1920s.
Florence Mills used her success in Broadway productions to advocate for racial equality and became a leading figure in the African American entertainment industry.
The property remains a private residence, making interior visits restricted, though the exterior facade can be viewed from West 135th Street.
Research revealed the address was incorrectly attributed, as Mills actually lived at 220 West 133rd Street, leading to the removal of landmark status in 2009.
