Corona took shape in the late 1800s as a mostly Italian area of fairly modest detached houses, by the early 1920s it had a sizable Black community, and the blocks north of Roosevelt Avenue held the heart of that historic African American community. On 107th Street stands the Louis Armstrong House, the jazz musician's home from 1943 until his death in 1971, now a museum, a National Historic Landmark and a city landmark.
