Milestones Along the Color Line

Published by Oliver B. Quick - dated in 1922, but the buildings and residents appear to be ~mid-1920s, the introduction reads: "This little book presents views showing property owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes in the city of Durham, NC. It is not a complete collection. There are other institutions and homes in the city equally as deserving of place in this book but lack of space prevents their showing. We have selected these as evidence of the progress being made by our race group in this section of the South." -OLIVER B. QUICK.

1204 Fayetteville St.

"Residence of Dr. and Mrs. AS Hunter" from Milestones Along the Color Line, 1922

1617 Fayetteville St.

"Residence of Mr. John A. Dyer" from Milestones Along the Color Line, 1922 Like many of the dates in MATCL, Dyer doesn't actually appear at this address until the mid 1920s. He is listed in the 1930 CD as sec-treas, Peoples Building & Loan Assoc. The house's basic form was still intact in the 1950s. It was remuddled in a truly awful way since that...
