The Birmingham Trust building at 112 20th Street North was the first home of the Birmingham Trust & Savings Company. The original 1902 building on the site was replaced with a larger Neo-classical style office building in 1922. The new building, clad in white marble, contains approximately 70,000 square feet of office space. It was designed by the firm of Miller, Martin and Lewis.
Wachovia Bank, which purchased SouthTrust, the successor to Birmingham Trust, maintained the building's banking office until April 2006, after which the building was left vacant. It was purchased in May 2008 be developer George Ladd who plans to recruit office tenants to the space.
