The Frank Nelson Building is a 10-story skyscraper at the northeast corner of 20th Street and 2nd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. Originally known as the First National Bank Building, it was completed in 1903 as the headquarters for the First National Bank of Birmingham. It is considered Birmingham's third skyscraper. Architect for the building was William Weston along with Charles Wheelock & Sons. It was named for bank executive Frank Nelson in 1939.
The Frank Nelson Building is currently home to the Birmingham School of Law. The street-level floor along both 20th and 2nd provide storefronts for the UPS Store, Za Za Trattoria, and Pita Loco. A. & A. Ash Jewelers was previously located in the prominent corner space. The Woodruff Manufacturing Company also has offices in the building.
