Description
A map of the Ossie Quarters, an area in the Parramore neighborhood of Downtown Orlando, Florida. The map was drawn in 2016 by Althea Hill, based on her memory of historic businesses and homes located in the neighborhood from 1951 through 1970. Ossie Quarters is located just north of Ossie Street, named in honor of Ossie Davis (1917-2005), a stage actor and civil rights activist.
