The tour will include a description of the history and significance of the building including a description of the rehabilitation process while walking through the significant spaces of Prince Hall. Completed in 1937 under the direction of John Wesley Dobbs, the Prince Hall Masonic building quickly became central to African American businesses and community. Dobbs, called the “Mayor of Auburn Avenue”, created an environment that elevated the black community. The building at 330 Auburn Avenue hosted many fraternal organizations, professional offices, and important organizations. In 1955, the building was expanded to include additional offices and retail storefronts. The nation’s first black-owned radio station, WERD, soon moved in, followed by a Madame CJ Walker school and then, in the 1960s, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rehabilitation of Prince Hall reached the critical substantial completion at the end of 2025 with the punch list completion in 2026. The rehabilitation includes cleaning and repointing the brick masonry, limestone and exterior stucco, wood and steel window restoration, and the installation of a new roof. All new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were installed as part of the rehabilitation including upgrades to the existing elevator. Many of the character defining features of the building’s interior are retained, including wood floors, plaster wall finishes, wood doors and frames, window casings and historic stairs. The building will be used by the Prince Hall Masons and other masonic organizations. The second floor has a single tenant and the first floor and basement will be occupied by the National Park Service for public interpretation.
