T. Thomas Fortune House, National Historic Landmark in Red Bank, United States.
The Victorian-style house features two complete floors, a third floor under a mansard roof, and contains a distinctive polygonal window bay on its exterior.
Timothy Thomas Fortune, born into slavery in 1856, resided in this house from 1901 to 1908 while working as editor of The New York Age newspaper.
The residence became a meeting place for African American leaders, including visits from Booker T. Washington during discussions about civil rights initiatives.
The T. Thomas Fortune Cultural Center maintains regular opening hours and presents permanent art installations alongside a research library for historical documentation.
Local developer Roger Mumford saved the building from demolition in 2017, restoring it completely before transferring ownership to the Foundation for one dollar.
