LEE DYNASTY, LLC, JUN LEE
Pine Street Commercial Buildings, 1103-1113 S. Roxboro Street. This block of one and two story brick commercial buildings was built around 1940, when this part of Roxboro Street was known as Pine Street and the neighborhood was a thriving African American community. Malcolm X spoke on Pine Street in 1963, debating with Durham Civil Rights leader Floyd McKissick, Sr. about the future of African Americans in the United States. The buildings stood empty for many years until Jun Lee renovated them and today they are home to several black-owned businesses. |
