ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was produced by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP). The report compiles the findings of a semester-long Historic Preservation (HP) studio in the spring of 2021 at GSAPP. This is a studio premised on concepts of community-engaged research and learning as integral aspects of preservation practice. Students and faculty alike have benefited from the knowledge and perspective of a number of representatives of the Harlem community, whom the team would like to thank and acknowledge.
