• Cotton Club (1923)

Operated for 17 years as one of the top Harlem nightspots. The policy was all white customers and all black performers.

---

Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, and the Nicholas Brothers all worked here.

---

In 1935, race riots made the area became unsafe for whites. Because of the drop in business, the club closed on February 6, 1936 and moved to Broadway and 48th.

---

The building was demolished in 1958 along with the Savoy Ballroom for the construction of Bethune Towers/Delano Village.
