Parker’s Alley, Downtown Detroit

‼️ Fun Fact ‼️
Parker’s Alley was established in 2019 alongside the Shinola Hotel project.

After the devastating fire of 1805, Detroit’s spirit didn’t break — it rebuilt. A thriving Black community rose up, fighting back against slavery and leaving a permanent mark on Detroit’s social, political, and economic landscape.
Among the pioneers were Elizabeth Cooper, Pompey Abbott, Hannah Ashlee, and Thomas Parker — Detroit’s first Black landowners. Parker owned Lot 70 in Section 7, right where we stand today.
In honor of that legacy, Shinola Hotel named this historic walkway Parker’s Alley.
