4. Langston Hughes, 20 East 127th Street, Manhattan
This building, located in Harlem, has been designated as a New York City landmark in honor of Langston Hughes. Though he was not explicit about his sexuality, Hughes’ work implies his queerness. Books of poetry like Montage of a Dream Deferred include queer subtexts that showcase either his own sexuality or his allyship and acceptance of all sexualities. Hughes was one of the forebears of the Harlem Renaissance, and his work has remained incredibly influential since.
