Sugar Hill

Handsome brownstones, limestone town houses, and row houses sit atop Sugar Hill, named for the "sweet life" enjoyed by its residents. In the early 20th century, such prominent blacks as W. E. B. DuBois, Thurgood Marshall, and Roy Wilkins lived in the now–landmark building at 409 Edgecombe Ave.
