Architectâs granddaughter details history behind Grove Court Apartments By Ashley Bowerman | April 12, 2021 at 5:45 AM CDT - Updated April 12 at 6:26 AM
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Before the Grove Court Apartments in downtown Montgomery became overgrown with trees and covered in garbage, it was a beautifully designed federal housing complex for families during World War II.
The apartments were built in 1947 by Bear Brothers construction company, owned by Carl W. Bear and his brothers, Joe and Jack Bear.
Clyde C. Pearson and Farrow Tittleâs architectural firm designed the three-story reinforced concrete structure with associates Parker A. Narrows and John H. Hancock.

Developers caution that the work to renovate and reawaken the historic complex could take two years or more. But in its first few days the project had altered the course of a lawsuit against the city and turned Grove Court into a source of optimism about the area’s future.

The sprawling, 81-unit complex at 559 S. Court St. made a splash when it debuted in the 1940s as the area’s first major post-war structure influenced by modern architectural trends of the time. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
