The Hill's Building is a 1-story, 60-foot by 90-foot commercial building located at 3908 Clairmont Avenue in the Forest Park subdivision of Forest Park-South Avondale. It is on the north side of the avenue, and adjoins the similar and contemporary 3900 Clairmont Avenue building, together spanning the entire short block between 39th Street South and 39th Place South, and anchoring the business district of what is now known as "Forest Park Village".

The buildings were constructed in 1922 and are faced in the same red brick with matching limestone trim. The 50-foot deep western building is divided into three 20-foot wide bays, while the 90-foot deep eastern building is divided into two 30-foot wide bays. The two are divided by a masonry party wall, with only a small disruption in the façade to mark the joint.

From 2012 to 2016 the building was owned by Heather McWane's Full Circle Properties. She gave the building its present name, reflecting the original occupant. She sold the building to its current owner, William Brooke's Elysian Holdings.
