The 13-story co-op on Edgecombe Avenue in Sugar Hill is a handsome neo-Georgian building with a rich history woven through with both the New York Yankees and the Harlem Renaissance.
It has one other notable feature: the city’s longest-standing sidewalk shed—those omnipresent hunter-green, steel-and-wood structures that are universally loathed by New Yorkers even as they are there to protect pedestrians from falling masonry and other debris. This particular shed was erected more than 6,180 days ago, in April 2006.
