Alabama State Bank Rendering
Banks and banking
Nichols, William, 1777-1853
This rendering shows the Alabama State Bank in Tuscaloosa as it would have appeared shortly after its construction in 1827. <br /><br />The State Bank of Alabama was organized in 1820 by the State Assembly at Cahaba. When the state capitol moved from Cahaba to Tuscaloosa, the bank, by law, had to move as well. <br /><br />The Alabama State Assembly of 1825 provided the bank with $2,000 to be used for moving the bank to Tuscaloosa. Land on Broad Street between 25th Avenue and Greensboro was purchased from Alexis Tardy for $750. The state bank building was designed by William Nichols as was the old state capitol building. The building contained banking rooms on the ground floor and living quarters upstairs for the cashier and his family. On January 1829, a listing of costs included $8,000.15 for the building and lot and $597.67 for its furnishings.<br /><br />The State Bank was a failure partly due to political ineptitude and the panic of 1837. In 1845, the State Charter allowed the State Bank to expire and the state covered all debts. <br /><br />In the 1870s, James Harris Fitts purchased the building and housed his bank in it. In 1887, Fitts moved his bank into a building further down the north side of Broad Street towards 23rd Avenue, but continued to use the state bank building for his residence. W.F. Fitts purchased the house from other heirs in 1919 and demolished it to build Shepard Motor Company.

Allen & Jemison Hardware Company, 620 Greensboro Avenue, 1883-1903
Hardware stores
Allen & Jemison Hardware Company was organized in 1883 when Thomas B. Allen bought a half interest in a hardware business owned and founded by William C. Jemison in 1878. Jemison was president until he sold out to the company, resigning as president. Thomas B. Allen then became the second president of the company.
The company was in business in Tuscaloosa for over 100 years. In 1971, Stratten-Warren, a Memphis Company bought the business and moved it to 2220 University Boulevard. In 1979, Wayne and Opal Stone purchased the hardware business.
1907 the store advertised guns, pistols and cartridges, high grade vehicles and harness, Studebaker wagons and buggies, Rex buggies, Remington & Smith guns, white hickory wagons, wood mowers, rakes & binders, Fairbanks scales, Magnolia cement, Atlas Portland cement, paints, oils, sash doors, blinds, lumber, nails, grates, mantels, laths, plaster, hair, brick, horse shoes, glass, putty, coal, lime, stoves and tin ware. Thomas B. Allen and Robert Jemison served as President, M. R. Jemison as Secretary and Treasurer, and A.C. Cade and R.P. Prowell as Directors.
Originally a one-story store, Allen & Jemison expanded to its three adjacent stores. In1903, the company built a four-story building and in 1911 added warehouse space. The building is located on the northwest corner of Greensboro Avenue and 7th Street. In 1971 when Stratten-Warren bought and moved the business, they sold the landmark building to James Spiller who used it as retail and warehouse space for his furniture store. In 2002, Christ Episcopal Church the building, then known as the Spiller Building, and, in 2008, decided to demolish the building. The city of Tuscaloosa intervened and the building was renovated as the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center opening in 2013.
