W. C. Handy's House 6/23/07


This photo shows a small shotgun house at 352 Beale Street which was W.C. Handy's house. Originally located at 659 Jennette Place, this house was Handy's home when he wrote such classics as "Yellow Dog Blues" and "Beale Street Blues." The house is now headquarters of the Blues Foundation. We were not there during the hours of operation, so we were not able to go inside.
