Thomas Jefferson Hotel, Historic hotel in downtown Birmingham, United States
The Thomas Jefferson Hotel is a 19-story building in downtown Birmingham with marble interiors and terra-cotta ornamentation. The facade shows elements of brick and light stone, while terraces sit across several floors.
Construction finished in 1929, and the building welcomed presidents and other prominent visitors in the following decades. The property later went through several renovations and changes in use.
The former ballroom served for decades as a gathering spot for evening dances and music. Musicians performed there regularly for guests from across the region.
The building sits on 2nd Avenue North in the city center and is reachable on foot from several streets. Visitors should note that the interior may not be accessible depending on current use.
A steel mast on the roof once carried a rotating red beacon for aircraft navigation. The light was visible from roughly six miles away.
