This article is about the downtown building. For the current Red Cross headquarters, see Ridge Park.

The Red Cross Building is a five-story building at 2225 3rd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham.

The 125,000 square foot building was renovated in 1975 for the American Red Cross, the building's only tenant. In 1998 the organization moved to the renovated Rust Building at Ridge Park on Red Mountain.

2004 Operation New Birmingham put the vacant building on their 12 Most Wanted list of downtown buildings in need of renovation. No plans have been announced as of 2011.
