  • Published as both Magnolia and Magnolia Hotel, this entity was listed in each edition of the Green Book with an incorrect spelling of the street name (Correll Street, Gorrel Street, and Gorel Street). However, the entries in 1956-1957, 1959, and 1961 editions include a star, capital letters, bold, and slightly bigger font, perhaps an indicator of a paid listing.1
