The properties included the art gallery and barbershop of Elijah Pierce at 534 E. Long St. and his former residence, at 142-44 N. Everett Alley. Pierce lived in the residence from 1946 to 1970, the longest he ever lived in one location. The barbershop was the first and only shop Pierce built. He was the barber there from 1954 until his retirement in 1980.[2]
The buildings were demolished to make room for a parking structure. A statue of Pierce stands near where the buildings had stood.[3]
