This is Department 56 #6005383, Christmas In The City ” The Savoy Ballroom ” lighted building. The Savoy Ballroom was a large ballroom for music and public dancing located at 596 Lenox Avenue, between 140th and 141st Streets in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Lenox Avenue was the main thoroughfare through upper Harlem. Poet Langston Hughes calls it the Heartbeat of Harlem in Juke Box Love Song, and he set his work “Lenox Avenue: Midnight” on the legendary street. The Savoy was one of many Harlem hot spots along Lenox, but it was the one to be called the “World’s Finest Ballroom”. It was in operation from March 12, 1926, to July 10, 1958, and as Barbara Englebrecht writes in her article “Swinging at the Savoy”, it was “a building, a geographic place, a ballroom, and the’soul’ of a neighborhood”. It was opened and owned by white entrepreneur Jay Faggen and Jewish businessman Moe Gale. It was managed by African-American business man and civic leader Charles Buchanan. Buchanan, who was born in the British West Indies, sought to run a luxury ballroom to accommodate the many thousands who wished to dance in an atmosphere of tasteful refinement, rather than in the small stuffy halls and the foul smelling, smoke laden cellar nightclubs… This is a fabulous location for a night on the town, drinks, dinner and dancing. It will make a magnificent addition to your Christmas in the City display. Piece is BRAND NEW and would make a wonderful and much appreciated gift for a collector.
