The house offers plenty of quiet nooks that make reflection and creativity feel natural.

What to Know Before You Book

about the restoration

This house did not begin as a polished destination. It began as a structure in need of care. Guided by a commitment to preserve Black history, the building has been reimagined as a place to rest, reflect and revive history.

Zora's Sojourn

Every overnight stay and event helps preserve this historic building.

Room by room, the house has been restored with an eye toward authenticity and intention. Original character is preserved wherever possible, while thoughtful updates make the space welcoming for today’s travelers. The result is a place where you can feel history breathing around you.
