Lewis H. Latimer House

The Lewis H. Latimer House, sometimes called the Latimer House or the Lewis Latimer House, was the home of American inventor Lewis Latimer from 1903 - 1928 and is now operated as a museum to the inventor's work. The house is owned by the New York City Parks Department, operated by the Lewis H. Latimer Fund, Inc and a member of the Historic House Trust. It is located at 34-41 137th Street in Flushing, New York.

The House was originally located on Holly Avenue in Flushing, Queens, but it was moved from that site to its current home in Leavitt Field in 1998 when it was facing demolition.Cite web|url=http://www.historichousetrust.org/item.php?i_id=39|title=Lewis H.
