Vault Visit | Magnolia House Renovations

We spoke with Sam Pass who led the Magnolia House Motel renovation.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — This year WFMY News 2 turned 75!  So to celebrate, we're opening the WFMY News 2 vault.

December 18, 2005, we got a peek at a vision.

We spoke with Sam Pass who led the Magnolia House Motel renovation. 


At its peak, the Magnolia House served as a Green Book hotel.


Those were hotels open to African Americans during segregation.

 But it got rundown and taken over by vagrants. 
           

So, Pass bought the property with a vision to bring it back to life and he did!

Earlier this year, WFMY News 2 toured the Magnolia House as it celebrated 75 years!

It operates as a museum, bed and breakfast, restaurant, and event venue!
