A photograph of the Sphinx Club of Beta Chapter in 1923 is currently on display in the ‘Making a Way out of No Way’ exhibition at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. This exhibition talks about how African Americans used organizations and institutional life to create a sense of agency against the backdrop of Jim Crow and other laws that hindered the progress of African Americans. The photographer, Addison Scurlock, operated a highly successful photography studio in Washington, D.C. where African American luminaries were frequently photographed— it was Scurlock’s desire to dismantle racist stereotypes through his lens. His son, Robert was a Fall 1934 initiate of Beta Chapter and his other son, Addison, died shortly after a scarlet fever outbreak during his junior year of college while a member of the Sphinx Club of Beta Chapter. #thisisbeta

The Jewels Heritage Project, Inc. mission is to Reclaim, Restore, and Revive two historic properties

We will accomplish our mission thru acting on two phases:

PHASE II

JHP will work with the current owner of 421 North Albany St. to restore this deteriorating building, which the City of Ithaca has condemned for several years.

Edward and Lula Newton owned the house, built by Norman Dennis around 1868. In autumn 1905 their tenant, C.C. Poindexter, started gathering friends there for the literary and social study club. This residence became the hub of social, cultural, and literary activity for African American students attending Cornell University, who had few other places to go due to the social segregation in the early 1900s. This club was the very origins of the organization now known as Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
As of Wednesday, April 1, 2015 the City Common Council unanimously voted to give the “Dennis-Newton House” its historic landmark status. Now that the Dennis-Newton House is designated as historic by the city, the property owner cannot allow deterioration to go on to such an extent that demolishing the landmark is necessary, according to Bryan McCracken, city historic preservation planner.

1 year later the owner plead guilty to 35 counts of violations in Ithaca City Court and has agreed to pay fines totaling $5,000 and absent upcoming compliance, up to $42,000, the city announced
JHP wants to continue to revive this historical residence and restore it for service as a community and literary center in partnership with local community groups.
