The Mount Morris Bank Building, also referred to as the Corn Exchange Bank (Mount Morris Branch) and Corn Exchange Building, is an historic building in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, located at 81-85 East 125th Street on the northwest corner of Park Avenue. Although an architectural standout when new in 1883, by the late 1970s it was vacant, and remained so for three decades, vandalized and deteriorating. In 2009 the city demolished, for safety, most of what remained after a 1997 fire, but in 2012 a developer undertook to rebuild it for commercial occupancy, and the building reopened in May 2015. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1993.

The Columbus Theatre was a theatre located at 114 E. 125th Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. It was the second theatre built by theatre impresario Oscar Hammerstein I. The architects were J. B. McElfatrick & Sons.The Columbus Theatre originally sat 1,649 people and was a major venue for musical theatre, vaudeville, and minstrel shows in Upper Manhattan. The theatre also occasionally served as an opera house, and sometimes presented plays ranging from classic works by William Shakespeare to new plays written by Americans. It opened in October 1890. The theatre was sold to F. F. Proctor in 1899 and was then renamed Proctor's 125th Street Theatre. It was later re-titled Keith & Proctor's 125th Street Theatre about a year later when Proctor formed a partnership with Benjamin Franklin Keith. After that partnership fell apart in 1911, it was once again known as Proctor's 125th Street Theatre or simply Proctor's Theatre. It was purchased by RKO sometime in the 1930s, and operated as a move theatre entitled RKO Proctor's 125th Street Theatre until it closed in 1957.

A Great Day in Harlem or Harlem 1958 is a black-and-white photograph of 57 jazz musicians in Harlem, New York, taken by freelance photographer Art Kane for Esquire magazine on August 12, 1958. The idea for the photo came from Esquire's art director, Robert Benton, rather than Kane. However, after being given the commission, it seems the latter was responsible for choosing the location for the shoot. The subjects are shown at 17 East 126th Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenue, where police had temporarily blocked off traffic. Published as the centrefold of the January 1959 ("Golden Age of Jazz") issue of Esquire, the image was captured with a Hasselblad camera, and earned Kane his first Art Directors Club of New York gold medal for photography. It has been called "the most iconic photograph in jazz history".The scene portrayed is something of an anachronism, as by 1957 Harlem was no longer the "hotbed" of jazz it had been in the 1940s, and had "forfeited its place in sun" to 52nd Street in Midtown Manhattan. Many musicians who were formerly resident in the area had already moved to middle class parts of New York, or did so shortly thereafter. Kane himself was not that certain who would turn up on the day, as Esquire staff had merely isssued a general invitation through the local musicians' union, recording studios, music writers, and nightclub owners.In 2018, a book was published to mark the 60th anniversary of the event, with forewards by Quincy Jones and Benny Golson, and an introduction by Kane's son, Jonathan.

North General Hospital (NGH) was an American private, not-for-profit, voluntary teaching hospital located in New York City in the East Harlem section of Manhattan at Marcus Garvey Park. It was founded in 1979 to replace, as tenant, the Hospital for Joint Diseases (HJD), which vacated its East Harlem facility and moved that same year downtown to East 17th street at Stuyvesant Square. NGH was the only minority-run, voluntary teaching hospital in the State of New York. NGH was also the only private (non-public) hospital in Harlem. After 31 years, North General Hospital closed in 2010 under financial duress of bankruptcy.

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem is a museum dedicated to preservation and celebration of the jazz history of Harlem, Manhattan, New York City. The idea for the museum was conceived in 1995. The museum was founded in 1997 by Leonard Garment, counsel to two U.S. presidents, and an accomplished jazz saxophonist, Abraham David Sofaer, a former U.S. district judge who gave the initial gift in honor of his brother-in-law Richard J. Scheuer, Jr., and matching funds from the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation. For more than 15 years, the museum was based in East Harlem at 104 East 126th Street. On February 1, 2016, the museum re-opened in a new space on the ground floor of 58 West 129th Street in Central Harlem with approximately 1900 square feet of exhibition space.

Arthur F. Collins (1937 – October 9, 1965) was a 28-year-old man who was murdered in a New York City subway after defending two women being assaulted by an intoxicated man. Collins's wife soon obtained employment, but in order to work, she had to send their daughter to live with relatives in Europe. Less than two months after Collins's wife was widowed, public outcry resulted in New York City Mayor Wagner signing a "good Samaritan" bill into law. In August 1966, New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller signed into law a bill that would provide state compensation to eligible crime victims. Rockefeller said this law was the result of the murder of Collins. This law transitioned to the formation of the New York State Office of Victims Services, an agency that provides compensation to all innocent victims of all crimes.

This station was constructed as part of the Dual Contracts by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company and opened in 1918.

The Harlem Fire Watchtower, also known as the Mount Morris Fire Watchtower, is the only surviving one of eleven cast-iron watchtowers placed throughout New York City starting in the 1850s. Standing at 47 feet (14 m) tall, it was built by Julius H. Kroehl for $2,300 based on a design by James Bogardus. It is located in Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, Manhattan. The Mount Morris Park tower went into service in 1857 in response to Harlem residents’ demand. The towers gave volunteers a perch from which to watch for fires that were common in the wooden structures that then made up much of New York City, and the watchers then spread the word via bell ringing. Later, electric telegraphs were installed but the bell provided local alarms. When pull boxes and other technological advances rendered the fire watchtowers obsolete, the system was discontinued and the other towers eventually were destroyed. Harlem's, protected in the middle of a park, endured. During the New Deal, the area surrounding the watchtower was rebuilt by government employees as part of the Works Project Administration jobs program. This project created a gracious plaza (sometimes called "the Acropolis"), stone retaining wall, and wide steps approaching the summit from several sides for pedestrians. The tower was designated a city landmark in 1967 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The last work on the watchtower came in 1994, but cracks in the overall structure and in the bell remained. The granite parapet along the top was in need of restoration. Weather, lack of maintenance, and neglect took their toll over the years. Roof damage allowed water into the structure, rusting structural members. The original copper roof deteriorated and fell off, exposing the interior to more damage. Many of the internal steps were missing and park visitors may no longer climb them or get near the structure, which is protected by a fence. In 2013, the Mount Morris Park Community Improvement Association and the Marcus Garvey Park Alliance partnered with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation to raise $4 million to restore the Harlem Watchtower, led by Valerie Jo Bradley. Starting in late 2014, NYC Parks disassembled the tower to restore the structure and ensure its soundness and stability before reconstruction. The tower reopened to visitors in December 2019.
