The photographer Dawoud Bey was recently featured in a photo exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. One of his works on display is likely familiar to most Harlem residents:

The work is centered on a vacant lot on 125th Street and 5th Avenue (south-east corner) that has been vacant for decades now.

As you can see, below, greenery had taken over the lot (6 years after Dawoud Bey took his image), but recent work at the site suggests that someone hired a tree service to cut down most of the foliage.

Home Sweet Home, with Marcus Garvey Park on the left.

Note the streetcars, the piles of horse manure, and the brownstones lining the east side of the park.
