Flintridge Building

The Flintridge Building is an office structure in Fairfield, Alabama, with projecting rooms that overlook the ironworks facility. The construction combines administrative space with direct visual connections to the surrounding industrial landscape.

The building was constructed in 1951 and served as headquarters for Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company before becoming part of United States Steel. Its creation came during an era when steel production shaped Alabama's growth.

The building reflects the industrial culture of the region through its design and views toward the iron mills. Visitors can still experience today the direct connection between workplace and production facilities.

The building functions today as private office space but can be viewed from the exterior to appreciate its architectural form. The best views of its characteristic protruding rooms are available from street level.

The projecting rooms of the building resemble stadium press boxes, an unusual design feature for an office structure. This architectural element allowed workers to directly observe production activities below.
