The Historic Magnolia House
Description
Dining, Catering, Private Events, and Corporate Events with rich soulful history During America’s period of segregation, the Magnolia House Motel accommodated traveling African Americans who were not allowed to share the same eating and sleeping facilities as Caucasians. In the 1950s and '60s, many prominent African Americans stayed either at this home or on what was called "The Gorrell St Guest List". The guest list included those such as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. , Coretta Scott King, & Cornell West. Prominent African American's that stayed in the Magnolia House included James Brown, Ray Charles, Ruth Brown, Ike and Tina Turner, Joe Tex, Carter G. Woodson, and Jackie Robinson. In addition to housing celebrities, the Magnolia House accommodated the families of students attending the historically black schools of Bennett College and North Carolina A&T State University. It also served the community as a place for wedding receptions and other formal gatherings. The Magnolia House Motel (known by its formal name, the Daniel D. Debutts House) is on the National Register of Historic Places and is in the South Greensboro National Register Historic District.
