Before the one-story cinderblock building was built in 1928 or earlier at 29 King’s Court, SE, there were four one-story duplex frame dwellings here. Between 1889 and 1917, Major Alfred M. Palmer, US Army, owned them, and rented to African American families. The cinderblock building once housed a factory where paper boxes were made, e.g., for pizzas. Today, there are artists’ studios here.
