Cleveland Court Apartments 620–638

Cleveland Court Apartments is a residential complex with multiple units built in the mid-20th century using the architectural style of that era. The building retains its original structural features and design from its construction period.

The complex was built in 1943 and later recognized by the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. This acknowledgment marked its official importance as a historical site.

Rosa Parks lived here from 1955 to 1956 with her husband Raymond and her mother Leona McCauley. The place holds meaning in the story of civil rights activism in Montgomery.

The property is still occupied and managed by the Montgomery Housing Authority. Visitors should remember this is an active residential community and respectful viewing is important.

The property gained recognition on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1989, well before its national acknowledgment came later. This earlier state-level recognition highlighted its importance within the region.
