The original restoration of the
Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthplace was the first birth home of a Black
American to gain recognition by the National and State Register of Historic
Places. The two-story Queen Anne style framed house was built in 1895.
Exterior restoration detailed the house to the period of Dr. King’s birth.
The interior was also restored to the original furnishings that the family
utilized at the time Dr. King was born. Mrs. Martin Luther King Sr. provided
the necessary input to ensure that wall paper, carpet, paints and other
decorative aspects were, if not authentic, then as similar to the original
decor as possible.
