Description
An account of the resource
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.

An account of the resource
The Alston Building is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Greensboro Avenue and Sixth Street. It was completed in 1910 on the site of the old Tuscaloosa County courthouse, which had stood there since 1845. The Alston Building was the city’s first “skyscraper”, and was originally regarded as the tallest building on a dirt street in America. At the time of this view the building was surmounted by a huge lighted sign “Try Tuscaloosa”, the slogan of the Tuscaloosa Board of Trade, later to become the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the sign, the building was topped by a lighted garden which was the scene of many social events.

McCalla-Wyman Building
Description
An account of the resource
The McCalla-Wyman Building on what is now University Boulevard in Tuscaloosa housed the Alston-Raiford Store at the time of this photo. Among the items available at the store were housewares, pianos, sewing machines, stoves, rugs and trunks.
Half of the building burned at some point.
Fred's discount store occupied the space for many years, moving out in 2007. The building was bought by Philip Weaver who is currently (2013) renovating and restoring the building, with plans for two commercial tenants on the first floor with five loft apartments above. Weaver plans to renovate the building so that it looks as it did 100 years ago. Weaver plans to call the building the Weaver-McCalla Building.
