The Jaws of Death

356 Mulberry passes away.

This animated sequence of ten pictures was taken around 2:30 pm, Monday, July 18. This is a view from the south side (two of WLOK's antennas are visible). After this sequence was shot, only the front facade (west side) remained standing.

Please!!!! Don't let this happen to another Memphis Landmark!!

356 Mulberry faces wrecking ball...again

Please review the important information below about the pending demolition (again) of this Historic African American Landmark, The Eureka Hotel, 356 Mulberry.

Please note that it has been determined that the Hotel structure can not be moved due to its construction. This has been confirmed. Memphis Heritage has actively been recruiting and referring non-profit organizations that have the capabilities to take the project but as of yet the the owners, Henry and Cheri Rudner have not been willing to work with any of these groups. No official information has been distributed about what the qualifications are for the owners to approve the gift. The owners of the property also own Ampro Industries, Inc., one of the largest manufacturers of ethnic hair care products. 

We must do everything possible to help save this irreplaceable piece of Black History.
Please call Deidre Malone, the Carter Malone group (serving as the owners' representative to handle the communication regarding the fate of the Eureka.) 278-0881 or 409-9899. Please call her today an voice your concern about the future of this Landmark!!

Thank you for your support of this effort.
If you have other questions please contact me at 529-9828.
