The owner of a historical East Side home is working to honor its history by transforming it into a small dance studio.
The owner of the home on the corner of Cactus and Martin Luther King Drive said it has the best view of the Tower of the Americas and the Alamodome. Homeowner Alma Chavarria wants to share her view with the rest of the city.
There are rumors Martin Luther King Jr. visited the small house. Neighbors have told Chavarria the home was a meeting place for civil rights leaders in the 1950s and 1960′s. Chavarria said the original property owner, Frank Abernathy, was a family member of Ralph David Abernathy, who was a close friend of King.
When the home received a historical designation in 2018, Chavarria was humbled to preserve history because she feels like her Denver Heights neighbors are losing their lifelong homes to investors flipping homes. So far, the rezoning committee unanimously voted to rezone her house from residential to commercial property.
