Gainsboro; Henry Street; Ebony Club; Kaiser Record Store; Norfolk and Western Railways; Hotel Roanoke; High Street Baptist Church; David Ramey.

Drawing of the Ebony Club on Henry Street. The word "Ebony" is written on the side of the tall, white-brick building. Next to the Ebony Club on the right side is a building with multiple doors to various businesses. On one window, "kis" can be seen, with the rest of the word being blocked by a telephone pole. This business is likely Kaiser Records. People can be seen walking on both sides of the sidewalk and standing by the doors of some of the businesses. Cars are driving on the road. In the background, behind the Ebony Club, is a tall building that is likely the Norfolk and Western General Office building (now the Roanoke Higher Education Center). Further behind that is another large building that is likely the Hotel Roanoke. On the right side in the background a church can be seen, possibly High Street Baptist Church. Signed by artist and dated 2015.

Story in Gainsboro Road and Beyond, p. 32. Displayed in the Taubman Museum of Art Exhibit 2023-2024. "28" written on top right back corner.
