Public housing development in Brooklyn, New York
The Sumner Houses is a NYCHA housing project that has 13 buildings. Buildings I-III, V-X, XII, and XIII have 7 stories while only buildings IV and XI have 12 stories. It is located between Park and Myrtle Avenues, and also between Lewis Avenue/Corner of Broadway to Throop Avenue in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.[2]
This housing project was built between 1955 and 1956 along with PS 59.[3] It was named after Sumner Avenue, the street that runs through the middle of the complex, which originally got its name from Charles Sumner and is now called Marcus Garvey Boulevard after the African American activist Marcus Garvey.[2][3]
