Description
Restored black and white photo showing the old Jefferson County Courthouse in downtown Birmingham. This is Birmingham's 3rd Avenue North as it looked circa 1906. The old courthouse was constructed in 1888 in the Romanesque Revival style of architecture.
It was replaced in 1931 by the current courthouse and pulled down in 1937. A parking lot stood here until the construction of One Concord Center in 2002. The 200 foot high clock tower was for a time the tallest building in the city and was considered Birmingham's first high rise structure.
The original photo was published by the Detroit Publishing Company and has been personally restored to retain the beautiful old style while bringing all the crisp architectural details back into focus once more.
