Philip A. Payton, Jr., (February 27, 1876 – August 1917) was an African-American real estate entrepreneur, known as the "Father of Harlem", due to his work renting properties in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City to African Americans.〔(''The National Cyclopedia of the Colored Race'' ). Editor-in-chief, Clement Richardson. Published 1919 by National Publishing Company, Inc. in Montgomery, Alabama. Page 258.〕〔("Streetscapes: 13 West 131st Street; 'Father of Harlem' Called It Home" ), by Christopher Gray, ''The New York Times'', June 16, 1991.〕 ==Early life== Philip A. Payton, Jr., was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, on February 27, 1876. He was the second of four children, one girl and three boys. His father was a barber and his mother a hairdresser. His father insisted that the children learn a trade, and so trained him in the family profession twice a week after school. Payton claimed to be a full-fledged barber by the age of fifteen. Dr. Joseph Charles Price, founder of Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina, was a personal friend of Payton's father, and Payton attended the institution, and graduated from the institute in 1899. The effects of the injury persisted for most of the following year. His siblings each had a more complete education. His sister graduated from the state normal school (later Westfield State College), and both of his brothers attended Yale University. Payton worked in the family barber shop until April 1899, when he decided to make more of himself, and left for New York City, against the wishes of both parents. There, he worked as a department store picture and weighing machine attendant at $6 per week, a barber at $5–6 per week, and finally as a porter in a real estate office at $8 per week. While working as a porter, he got the idea of going into the real estate business on his own.〔
