Montgomery Greyhound Bus Station by National Register of Historic Places

Highlighted New Listing – May 27, 2011

Montgomery, Montgomery County, AL

The Montgomery Greyhound Bus Station, located at 210 S. Court Street in Montgomery, Alabama, was made famous world-wide on May 20, 1961, when the Freedom Riders, a group of civil rights activists and students who wanted to test the validity and enforcement of segregation on the nation’s new interstate system in the south, were attacked by a white mob awaiting their arrival at the station. The South was the scene of many civil rights struggles where state laws segregated African Americans and European Americans. The Montgomery Greyhound Bus Station itself is a small, modest, single-story building constructed in 1950-51, but has earned its place in history by focusing the federal government to intervene instead of deferring to states to solve civil rights issues.

Left behind (0326-DPP) by Mark's Postcards from Beloit

Joint meeting of City of Beloit Parks and Recreation Commission and Landmarks Commission at Turtle Creek Park to tour the old pool Bathhouse building. The building's been sealed up for a many years waiting for some kind of decision on its future.

Parks and Recreation Commission wants to examine options and thus this meeting.

Inside was this old desk under a rooftop skylight vent.

[I'll find the Beloit Historical Society page with information on this 1938 Flexcore roofed historic landmark building later.]
