Greyhound Station
Birmingham, AL
The Birmingham station was designed by Arrasmith and opened in 1949. It was built of stone and brick. The interior featured terrazzo floors. There were two lobbies, one for whites and one for "coloreds", each with their own restaurant. While the building's design was more boxy than earlier stations from the 1940s, the streamline pylon sign and canopy were retained. This station was the site of civil rights actions. These photos are from 2003 and 2010. In 2017, Greyhound moved to a new location. The Greyhound sign was removed from the front of the building. The sign on the pylon was painted over. From 2020-2021, the building was restored and adapted for office space. For more, see this website. [map]
