English: 555 Edgecombe Avenue, located at the corner of West 160th Street in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York, was originally known as the Roger Morris when it was built in 1914-16 to designs by Schwartz & Gross. At the time, apartments were only rented to whites, but as the neighborhood changed, it became almost exclusively African-Americans. A number of notable people lived in the building, including Count Basie, Canada Lee, Joe Louis, Kenneth Clark and Paul Robeson (Edgecombe Avenue is co-named "Paul Robeson Boulevard"} (Sources: Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.) and AIA Guide to NYC (5th ed.))
