Massey Business College was a chain of training schools for business-related skills which was founded by Richard Massey in Birmingham in 1889. The college taught typing, shorthand, accounting, business law and similar courses to fill demand for clerical workers in the South's rapidly changing economy.
In 1905 the college moved to a newly-constructed three-story building at 2024 3rd Avenue North. The building's design, which allowed for a ground floor retail tenant, was re-used for five other locations across the south, including Montgomery; Richmond, Virginia; Jacksonville, Florida; and Houston, Texas.
The school closed in 1960.
