On the northwest corner of 128th street and 5th Avenue in New York City’s Harlem, you’ll find a small, gated park that seems odd and out of place. Collyer Park sits where a once proud brownstone stood. The so-called Collyer Mansion, or Ghost House, that was torn down, ironically, after an odd and out of place duo finally wore out their welcome there; The Collyer Brothers.
