ALABAMA

Greyhound Station Birmingham, AL

The Birmingham station was designed by Arrasmith and opened in 1951. 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. The building barely resembles the original station now. This station was the site of civil rights actions. For more, see this website.
