While assessing the significance of any building and architectural creation, many
observations are taken into consideration. These considerations reflect the role of the
building, its past history, and future relationship within the context of connections within
the neighborhood and community. The Faison Firehouse Theater, located in the
neighborhood of Harlem on 6 Hancock Place has held a significant role throughout its
time, still continuing its important standing to this day. A various amount of significance
was determined, through research about the architect, the building’s assessment within
program changes, the owners, as well as the predominant impact 6 Hancock Place has
made in Harlem.
