What do you think of this little gem?

This Japanese pagoda-styled ranch was built in 1962 by builder/contractor Fred Lee Hylick. Early advertisements called him “The House Surgeon for Home Modernization”. Hylick died in September of 1968, and then Otis and Mildred Thorpe moved in.

The couple met at Morehouse, and Otis went on to get his graduate education at Atlanta University, University of Louisville and Georgia State. In 1960, he entered the real estate field, working as a broker and realtor and later president of the Empire Real Estate Board (among many others). In 1977, he was appointed the first Black board chair of the Joint City-County Board of Tax Assessors and he was also the first Black member of the Appraiser Qualifications Board. Mildred worked as Assistant Program Director at WAOK.

He died in 1991 and she lived in the house until 2016.
