McCalla-Wyman Building
Description
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.
