Robert Hartwell occurs on Broadway in New York in various Musical roles, and deserves to be in apparently good money. So it was able to afford the actor and singer to buy a nice, large house in Great Barrington in the U.S. state of Massachusetts.

In the year 1820, so 200 years ago, was completed on the property. That today a Black man has the wealth and the social position to be able to such a house to buy, makes Hartwell proud of. “I know that this house is greater than I,” he wrote in a post on his Facebook page. “I wish I could tell you the ancestors of my, as you have worked out breaking my back to build this house, that the house will belong to 200 years later, a gay black man.”
