- This article is about the commercial building at Five Points South, for the administration building and auditorium at Birmingham-Southern College, see Munger Hall.
The Munger Building is an Art-Deco style commercial building wrapping the southwest corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue South at Five Points South. The building, completed in 1928, was developed by the heirs of Robert Munger and was designed by Miller & Martin architects. Early designs for the building indicated that the S. H. Kress & Co. was a potential anchor tenant. The facade is decorated with chevrons, rosettes and floral motifs in shallow relief.
In the early 1980s, Bob Moody purchased the building for redevelopment. It was later bought and renovated by John Samford.
