90 years of this neighborhood. π‘ In 1936, Memphis became only the second city in America to build a public housing community.
Lauderdale Courts opened right here - red-brick buildings, tree-lined courtyards, and a neighborhood designed around the idea that families deserved a real place to live.
In 1949, a fourteen-year-old Elvis moved into Apartment 328. In 1999, Henry Turley and partners invested in revitalization - preserving the historic architecture while building the next chapter.
Today it's Uptown Square. The red-brick is original. The courtyards are still here. The neighborhood is still growing.
90 years of families, history, and people making this corner of Memphis home.
