Located in Irvington, NY, the 20,000 square foot mansion sits on 3 acres and features 34 rooms.
Built in the 1910s, Villa Lewaro served as both a home and meeting place for prominent figures like W.E.B. Dubois and Langston Hughes. The property was lived in by the Walker family until the death of A'Leila in 1931, where it was then left to the NAACP. Financial woes would see the NAACP selling the property soon after.
The home would become a National Historic Landmark on May 11, 1976.
New Voices hopes to renovate the estate and have it serve as a retreat or think tank for women entrepreneurs of color.
