Grove Court Apartments

Grove Court Apartments is an International Style residential complex featuring individual unit entrances accessed by external staircases on the facade. The building contains a shared laundry room on the upper level and storage areas in the basement for residents.

Bear Brothers construction company built the complex in 1947 to house soldiers returning to America after World War II. The project responded to Montgomery's urgent need for new housing during the post-war residential boom.

The complex drew successful professionals seeking modern city living after World War II. It became a symbol of post-war progress and opportunity for those building new lives in Montgomery.

The complex sits on South Court Street in downtown Montgomery and is easily accessible on foot. External staircases provide direct access to each residential unit without passing through shared corridors.

Architect Clyde Pearson gained recognition in professional magazines for the complex's innovative design. This attention led to his admission into the American Institute of Architects.
