Birmingham Federal Savings & Loan Association was a Birmingham-based savings and loan founded by Curtis DeArman, Jr, Malcolm Wheeler, J. W. Griffin, Boyd Tarpley and Frederick Murray . By 1971 the bank had three locations.
1971 locations
- 511 20th Street South, Southside Birmingham

The structure included a drive-thru window and a conference room which could be rented for civic or business meetings. It was surrounded by a "moat", which functioned as a cooling pond for the building's air conditioning system.
- 9324 Parkway East, Roebuck (built 1970, also round but more traditionally styled than Vestavia)
