This completely restored National Register Property currently (2018) houses the B Sharps Jazz Club. This house is one of the few recognized, extant properties financed jointly by rank and file and upper class African-American women. Its cornerstone was laid in 1921 by the Woman's [sic] Working Band and it was built to serve as an Old Folks Home.
