| Abstract: | The Lorraine Motel, site of what is now that National Civil Rights Museum, was built in 1925 and had 16 rooms. The motel is located at 450 Mulberry Street in the Downtown district of Memphis. It was an upscale motel that accommodated black clientele during the era of segregation and Jim Crow. The motel is two stories. There are two large fixed windows for every room. The building is made of stone. The adjoining museum features a large bull’s eye window in a raised part of the roof that functions as a skylight. The building can best be described as Antebellum in style. The second story features a veranda. There are a few strip windows. |
