A National Historic Landmark is designated here as Florence Mills's home by mistake
On December 8, 1976, the National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmark program recognized a four-story rowhouse at this address as the home of entertainer Florence Mills. The house that stood here in 1927 no longer exists. The mistake began with a photograph that the New York Evening Journal mislabeled when Mills died.

Mills actually lived at 220 West 133rd Street, a few blocks away. The designation was withdrawn, and on January 16, 2009, this address was removed from both the National Register and the National Historic Landmark list.
