Description: From the Web site of the Beck Cultural Exchange Center in Knoxville: In the summer of 1919, the Colored Orphanage was established for the care and protection of the unfortunate children of the Negro race. The property that housed the orphanage, which was an old frame structure located at 1835 Brandau Avenue, after many years of operation, seemed headed for foreclosure. Ethel, was elected to head the Board Management, and in less than two years, the debt was liquidated and the home saved. In 1941, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to change the name to the “Ethel Beck Home,” a monument, to the faithful work of a noblewoman. The Beck Center was established in the former home of James and Ethel Beck on Dandridge Avenue in Knoxville.
