Angelou died in 2014 at 86. She received a tribute from Hillary Clinton and Toni Morrison, among others, at the Riverside Church in Morningside Heights near her other former Harlem brownstone. That four-story, 20-foot wide townhouse at 58 W. 120th St. sold for $4,595,000 in July 2016, according to the Real Deal.

The poet also owned a cheery yellow house in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that she decorated with birdcages throughout. The home sold for $500,000 in 2016.
