Spiller Building

The Spiller Building (originally Allen & Jemison Warehouse) is a four story, 52,000 square foot warehouse building located on the corner of Greensboro Avenue and Seventh Street in Tuscaloosa. It was constructed in 1903 on the site of the the 1846 Tuscaloosa County Courthouse.

In 1975 the building was purchased by Spiller Furniture as a downtown showroom. That company closed in 2002 and sold the building to the adjacent Christ Episcopal Church. Unable to maintain the 100-year-old structure, the church's vestry voted in 2008 to pursue demolition.

The Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society hopes to find a suitable use for the building before the demolition order is signed, and has applied for it to be listed on the Alabama Historical Commission's annual "Places in Peril" list.
