409 Edgecombe Avenue is the building Langston Hughes called "quite a party center" in The Big Sea — and per LPC, "Harlem's tallest and most exclusive apartment house" of its era.
No other Harlem address matches its trophy cultural resident roster — Thurgood Marshall (Supreme Court Justice), W.E.B. DuBois, Roy Wilkins (NAACP head), Walter White (NAACP), Aaron Douglas (Harlem Renaissance painter), Elizabeth Catlett (sculptor), Julius Bledsoe (singer), Eunice Carter (prosecutor), and Marvel Cooke (journalist) all called it home. The city has formally recognized that significance with NYC Landmark designation (LP-1861, 1993), the building also contributing to the Sugar Hill / Hamilton Heights Historic District. Its Coogan's Bluff location completes the picture — perched opposite Jackie Robinson Park, near Macomb's Dam Bridge.

Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 1-02054-0062) and verified listing data. Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified by The Roebling Team research desk. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.
