Not to be missed is the ESSENCE Showhouse at 153 West 120TH street in Harlem, NY
C.The renovated brownstone, christened “Homecoming” features three apartments, decorated to reflect the tastes, interests and lifestyle of three archetypical ESSENCE magazine readers. Susan L. Taylor said it was “an example of what vision passion and creativity can create.”
Homecoming is the result of a partnership between Essence Magazine and Abyssinian Development Corporation (as owner/developer). The Brownstone is part of the Neighborhood Homes Project established by the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
The design team included Vanessa Bush, Courtney Sloane, Keita Turner, Everick Brown, and Zevilla Jackson Preston.

Michelle Ebanks, ESSENCE president, Dr. Rev. Calvin Butts and team cut ribbon officially opening Homecoming.
Here is the ESSENCE webpage http://www.essence.com/essence/homecoming/ that illustrates Homecoming’s journey from eyesore to jewel of the neighborhood. Also available are information on the designers, contractors and sponsors who made it possible.
The objective of Homecoming is to encourage homeownership, the real wealth builder in America. According to an Essence survey, purchasing a first home, is a goal of most of Essence magazines’ 7 million readers. “Our readers are clear that homeownership can change the circumstances of your life” reported Angela Burt Murray, Editor-In-Chief.
The house will be open through November 2005 for tours and will also offer free classes on renovation topics, decorating and entertaining. When the Showhouse ends the building will be sold to an individual through ADC’s home-ownership program. The homeowner can live in the duplex apartment and rent out the two single units.
Here are some of my photographs of the show house.
