Mason’s Motel, also known as Mason’s Motor Court, was a Black-owned motel located at 603 West Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Established in 1960 by Charlie Mason, it served as a vital accommodation for African American travelers during the era of segregation, when most local hotels denied lodging to Black guests. The motel became a cultural hub, hosting renowned Black entertainers, and is a significant piece of Chapel Hill's African American history.
