Cleveland Court Apartments 620–638, Historic apartment building in Montgomery, Alabama.
Cleveland Court Apartments 620–638 is one building within the Cleveland Court Apartment Complex in Montgomery, Alabama. It is a two-storey brick apartment block with repeated units, and unit 634 is the address associated with Rosa Parks. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Unit 634 of the Cleveland Court Apartments 620–638 was the home of Rosa Parks, her husband Raymond Parks and her mother Leona McCauley during the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955–1956. The building was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on March 30, 1989, and on the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 2001.
Unit 634 was the home of Rosa Parks, her husband Raymond and her mother Leona McCauley during the 1955–1956 Montgomery bus boycott, the protest that followed Parks's arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat. The address ties the building to that campaign rather than to any commemorative use.
The building stands in the Cleveland Court Apartment Complex in Montgomery, Alabama, at coordinates 32.36306, -86.31750. It is a residential address, not a museum, so there is no interior to tour; the unit associated with Rosa Parks is a private home. View the exterior from the public street.
Unit 634, the Rosa Parks family home, sits within a complex of separate two-storey brick blocks rather than a single building; the address range 620–638 covers the whole row. The Alabama Register listing came on March 30, 1989, twelve years before the National Register entry of October 29, 2001.
