41st Street South (formerly Spring Street) is the main street of the Avondale business district. It begins at the Norfolk Southern Railroad's AGS South District and East End District trackage and crosses the Alabama and Tennessee River Railway track alongside 1st Avenue South, then proceeds for four more blocks before terminating at the main entrance to Avondale Park.
On the northern slop of Red Mountain above the park, the street between 40th and 42nd streets is called Glen View Road.
History
Spring Street was named for the Spring Branch, which carried outflow from Avondale Spring northward to Village Creek. Originally the branch occupied open ditches on either side of the street, requiring small bridges to access the businesses on either side. The stream was directed into a culvert below the center of the street in 1925.
