This is the first known photograph of Birmingham. It taken from the new Jefferson County Courthouse, either in 1873 (during its construction), 1875 (following its completion), or 1878, by photographer A. C. Oxford.

The photograph is in the William H. Brantley Collection at the Samford University Library (link).

Another print, without the labels, is part of the same collection. (link)

Captions, apparently added by Brantley, indicate the following structures:

  1. "chimney of old sail" First Presbyterian Church
  2. First Baptist Church, 6th Avenue and 22nd Street
  3. First Methodist Church, 6th Avenue and 21st Street
  4. First Birmingham Water Works, 13th Avenue and 22nd Street
  5. T. L. Hudgins residence, 6th Avenue and 21st Street
  6. John Terry residence (site of Phillips High School)
Public Domain
This work was published in the United States before 1928 and is now presumed to be in the public domain.
