Civil Rights Trail Suite - Near Historic Sites
Overview
This private guest suite occupies part of a newly renovated 1923 craftsman home in Montgomery's Five Points/Cottage Hill neighborhood, considered the city's first neighborhood.

The suite blends a modern interior with the character of its historic craftsman shell, offering a quiet, reflective base for exploring Montgomery's civil rights history.
