2300 1st Avenue North is a 3-story brick commercial building constructed in the 1910s on the southwest corner of Block 103, northeast of the intersection of 1st Avenue North and 23rd Street North. The 50-foot by 140-foot building was originally addressed as 2300–2302, but is presently 2300–2304.

The brown brick building features a large metal cornice which continues across the south and west street façades, and halfway across the north-facing alley façade. The ground floor storefronts are framed with metal trim decorated with a diamond motif. The upper windows are constructed with flat arches and dressed with limestone sills. Limestone is used as continuous bands at the 3rd floor line, 3rd floor window sill line, and above the 3rd floor window arches.

The ground floor was the long-time showroom for Fix-Play Displays.

The building is listed as a contributing structure to the Morris Avenue-1st Avenue North Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, recognized in 1986.

Around the time Fix-Play closed in 2000 the building was acquired by Adam Cohen, Stacey Dulin and Woody Cohen's through an affiliate of their business, Harwood Properties (later renamed Cityscape Group). They redeveloped the building with 23 loft residences with the name Fix Play Lofts. The ONB Foundation also invested in the project, which was cited in a "Preservation Award" given to Harwood by the Birmingham Historical Society that year.

The residences are currently leased as apartments and managed by SPM Property Management. In 2016 the property was joined with the 26-unit Goodall-Brown Lofts as a "Birmingham Loft Portfolio", and sold in 2017 through the Cushman & Wakefield Southeast Multifamily Advisory Group.

A neon blade sign mounted to the front façade by Fix Play Displays was preserved and renovated in 2019 to advertise the apartment complex.
