"Established African-American occupancy/ownership during the period of significance: 
1930 – George Cooper 
1901 – John H. Tyler 
1883 – John Tyler, son of Zachariah, served in 26th USCT 
This is the rear of the lot facing S. Plain St, previously owned by John’s father. 
The 1893 Sanborn map indicates this is one large lot with 2 houses, this one, and the one facing S. Plain Street. By 1904, John’s father’s house is gone, but the lot has not been divided."
