I am curious to know do you have the people names that lived in this home? I've been trying to gather as much information on my past as I possibly can. My bio- grand parents was known to have lived in this home back in 1935. John Debro Powell and Fannie Mae Robinson-Powell. If you have anymore information regarding them I would love to hear and receive Thank you

Nicole, you'll want to review the City Directories. The downtown library has printed copies of all of them, from the 1880s to last year. More convenient may be the digital versions at this website: archive DOT org.
According to page 594 of the 1935 directory, Mary McMillian lived at 504 Ramsey Street.
I'd include direct hyperlinks, but Gary's spam blocker disallows it!
