- Biography (note)
- A division of Union Settlement, an East Harlem settlement house, the Cultural Center, founded in 1917, incorporated music, art, drama, and literary activities into programs. H. Blake Hobbs (1911-1973) was the director from 1958 until his death. In 1895, the Union Settlement Association was founded by alumni, faculty, and students of Union Theological Seminary at 202 East 96th Street, in response to the desperate conditions of immigrants struggling to make a new life in America. Within five months, the agency moves to its present site at 237 East 104th Street. One of the largest settlement houses in New York, Union Settlement currently serves more than 10,000 East Harlem residents of all ages each year through its education, health, senior services, youth development, childcare, counseling, and economic development programs.
