Martin-Smith School of Music

The Martin-Smith School of Music (MSSM) was a historically black music school at 139 W. 136th St in the Harlem neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, New York City, United States. Founded in 1912 by David I. Martin and Helen Elise Smith, the school was a significant music conservatory for African-Americans during the first half of the 20th century. The school was still active as late as 1953, but by 1969 its building was demolished.
