Smith and Mapplethorpe moved into the Clinton Hill townhouse in 1967 and paid $80 a month (about $600 today) for the apartment. “We had the entire second floor, with windows facing east and west, but its aggressively seedy condition was out of range of experience,” Smith writes in her memoir, Just Kids. The landlord cut them a deal on the deposit because Mapplethorpe agreed to paint and clean the place.
