Built circa 1955, this was owned and operated by Charlie Mason as Mason's Motor Court (aka Mason's Motel) in the 1950s and 1960s.

Offered as a place for African Americans to stay, as the white-owned hotels and motels in the Chapel Hill area only allowed white customers to stay.

It's now the location of the Greenbridge Condominiums.
