2200 Magnolia Avenue
2200 Magnolia Avenue South is a two-story brick building on the northeast corner of 22nd Street and Magnolia Avenue South, on the east end of Magnolia Park. It is currently being redeveloped for offices.
The building sits on the site of the former Birmingham Fire Station No. 3. It was the home of the Hill Food Stores main bakery in 1923, the Family Service Laundry in 1934, and the Ideal Heating & Refrigerating Co. in 1941. It housed the Morris & Eckels Co. in the 1960s, while the upper floor was leased to the Cornerstone head shop and coffee house. Over the years, the original 7,000 square-foot building was expanded to 29,450 square feet.
In 1970 the building was used by Saunders Truck Leasing, and later housed the Birmingham Bumper Service. It was left vacant for several years before 2017. That year Mike Mouron of Capstone Real Estate Investments purchased the building and adjoining parking lot on 2.85 acres from Southern Research for $2 million. Work on redevelopment began in December of that year. Mo
