Green Book Details
R. Wilson appears in the Green Book from 1947 to 1956 at 370 Robert St. in Akron under the category Tourist Homes. A man known as Abraham D. lived here prior to 1947. While it is not confirmed, the “R. Wilson” who owned this home might have been Robert R. Wilson. He was a rubber worker, but his wife, Mildred Wilson, was a housekeeper. Both of these people were white.
