2021-02-17 - Connie's Inn contained an organ built in 1929 by the Estey Organ Company, and was the first example of the "Grand Minuette" model. Estey's Op. 2800 had three unified ranks on 8" wind pressure, and all of its pipes were contained in a grand piano-type case that measured 8'4" long by 5'5" wide by 3'3" high. The case and piano-type bench of Op. 2800 were finished in Whitewood, ivory and gold. -John Roper
2021-02-17 - The intersection of 131st Street and Seventh Avenue — a Harlem hot spot called "The Corner" — was the site of Connie's Inn, a popular nightclub located in the basement of 2221 Seventh Avenue. Connie's Inn was established in 1923 by Connie Immerman, a white bootlegger, during Prohibition, the period from 1920 to 1933 when the making and sale of liquor was outlawed in the United States. Its clientele included gangsters and molls, rumrunners, and bathtub bootleggers. Connie's Inn attracted huge audiences with acts by Louis Armstrong, Moms Mabley, Fats Waller, Wilbur Sweatman, Peg Leg Bates, and Fletcher Henderson. Like its cheif rival, the Cotton Club, Connie's Inn featured African-American performers, but restricted its audience to whites only. -John Roper
