If you want to explore American civilization, African American history is one of part of American civilization you need know. Today, we have visited some famous Afro-Americans’ building and my presentation topic is the John Coburn House. I had researched this building and its household John Coburn before visit on Internet. The John Coburn House was designed by famous architect Asher Benjamin, and household, John P. Coburn was influential during he lived period, 1900s. He was a clothes dealer and community activist, although he was a black people; however, different with other African American in that period, he was a rich man. According to some evidence, he also had opened a Casino in his house. Besides, he also opened other interesting organization, “John Coburn was also a founder of the Massasoit Guards” (nps.gov). This organization tends to offer safe guard for people. The John Coburn House located in 2 Phillips Street, near the famous Bacon Hill.
