The Webb Building, built in 1871 on the southwest corner of 20th Street and 2nd Avenue North, was one of the first commercial 3-story buildings in Birmingham. It was developed by J. B. Webb of Elyton, who is said to have claimed a $100 prize from the Elyton Land Company for his investment in the new city.
From its completion until 1907 the building housed the Dude Saloon. The building has been remodeled several times, first in 1915. The present stone cladding is not original.
