- Description
-
The 1924 Colored Detroit directory profiled Henry F. Thompson. He was born in Kentucky and came to Detroit at a young age in 1858. He was described as the owner of a "creditable real estate business" at 1730 Chene St. The 1927 Classified Detroit Negro Business Directory listed "Thompson, H. P." running a real estate business at the same address. It seems likely that both of these publications refer to the same person and one simply printed his middle initial wrong, but it is also possible that Henry F. Thompson and H. P. Thompson were different people.
There is also a separate listing in the 1927 directory for a business called Thompson Real Estate Exchange at 629 Hartford Ave, which may or may not be related to the same Thompson family. - Migration Origin
