The building is significant as the home of civil rights icon Rosa Parks, who lived in the first floor flat with her husband Raymond from 1961 to 1988.

Miller lived there in the early 1930s, and James Mondes, a store clerk, occupied the flat in the late 1930s through about World War II.

Rosa continued to work for Conyers and live in the flat until 1988, when she retired and moved into a house a dozen blocks north.

[2] The Rosa Parks Flat is a two-and-one-half story Craftsman style building, sited on a corner lot.

From the dining room, a door opens into the front bedroom and a short hallway leads to the kitchen at the rear of the house.

Other than some replacement doors, the structure appears nearly identical to what it looked like at the time Rosa and Raymond Parks occupied it.
