One of my students is working on a project about Madame C.J. Walker and her last home, Villa Lewaro, which is in Irvington, NY.  She is having great difficulty finding primary source materials (letters, diaries, inventories, photographs, architectural plans, etc).  Does anybody have advice to offer?  Any ideas about where she might find materials related either to Walker or to the house's architect, Vertner Tandy?

Thanks,
Anastasia
