Shepherd-Sloss Building is a terra-cotta retail block located on the southwest corner of 20th Street South and Highland Avenue in Five Points South. The building was completed in 1928.
The building was known for its landmark rooftop Buffalo Rock sign (later converted into the Barber's clock), erected immediately after the building was completed, visible as southbound traffic approached the intersection. It has been home to several businesses, restaurants and bars, including Cadillac Cafe, Louie Louie, Bell Bottoms, Hippodrome, Dugan's, Mancha's, Klein Flowers, Black Market Bar & Grill as well as others.
