John Hand Building

The John Hand Building is a striking high-rise complex in Birmingham, Alabama, completed in 1912. Its 20 stories reach a height of 87 meters (285 feet). Once the tallest building in the city, it now houses a mix of commercial and residential space, with the lower eight floors used for commercial purposes. The historic landmark, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, long served as corporate headquarters for several banks, including AmSouth and Cadence Bank. Following an extensive renovation in 2000, it is now the headquarters of the company Shipt. Visitors can admire this architecturally significant building in the city center, whose long history as Birmingham's economic hub has shaped its character.
