Lorraine Hansberry’s residences included in the 17 LGBT landmarks of Greenwich Village
As part of the 50th anniversary event commemorating the Stonewall Riots—the nights of disturbances from June 28th to June 30th 1969—Lorraine Hansberry’s two Village residences are included in the 17 LGBT landmarks of Greenwich Village.
Both buildings are landmarked as part of the Greenwich Village Historic District; in 2017, Village Preservation placed a plaque on Hansberry’s Waverly Place home commemorating her residence there.
