The Marre building was a two-story stone building constructed on the nnortheast corner of 1st Avenue North and 19th Street by Andrew Marre for his Marre & Allen grocery and general store.

By 1884 the building housed Marre's cotton-buying business as well as the Ruby Saloon, Jonas Schwab's furniture and jewelry store, and the offices of the Birmingham Board of Trade.

The building survived until 1895 when it was demolished for the Louis Saks Clothiers store.
