Even some of America's most famous entertainers of the era, because they were African-Americans, were barred from staying in the city's mainstream hotels. As such, such notable musicians as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, and others often stayed at the Davis Tourist Home while on tour. These stays were often a week at a time when their bands came into town to play the Cadillac Lounge, Crystal Park, and other venues.
