The Clark Building is a 2-story commercial building located on the northwest corner of 20th Street and 4th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. It was constructed in 1909 for General Louis Clark and remained in his family for generations. The Commercial Realty Company, owners of the building in 1962, commissioned a full remodeling and modernization of the structure from Warren, Knight & Davis and Brice Building Company.
The building housed the Birmingham Press Club, and later a ballet school, on the second floor. The ground floor space housed Smith & Hardwick book store, while the basement was home to Cafe Italiano and its Piccolino Lounge.
