During the industrial boom from 1902 to 1912 which made Birmingham the largest city in the state. Four large buildings were constructed at the intersection of the City's main streets. The Woodward building (now National Bank of Commerce), constructed in 1902 on the Southwest corner, was the City's first steel-frame skyscraper. A good example of the Chicago school style of architecture, it brought a dramatic change to the vertical scale of the existing Victorian City. In 1906 the 16-story Brown Marx building rose on the Northeast corner; in 1908 an addition more than doubled its size. Long the South's largest office building, its principal tenant was United States Steel Corporation. The Empire building (1909, Northwest corner) and John A. Hand building (1912, Southeast corner), completed the ""Heaviest Corner."" Sheathed in marble, limestone, and terra cotta, they exemplify the more ornamental neoclassical style. Along the cornice of the Empire building (now Colonial Bank), ""E's"" stand for the Empire Improvement Company, which built the tower.","33° 30.87′ N, 86° 48.354′ W.

After the fire (which Dillinger was nowhere near. He was holed up in a nearby house at the time), the decision was made to keep the building to the two stories, probably due to cost. — Submitted November 23, 2013, by Catherine Cramer of Tucson, Arizona. 2.

On February 28, 1927, at the site of the former Conner Hotel which burned in 1923, ground was broken for the construction of Prescott's first ""community"" hotel. Designed by Trost and Trost of El Paso in collaboration with Prescott architect Chris Totten, the Mission/Spanish Revival style hotel was built by Ramey Brothers, also of El Paso, and opened November 20, 1927. On that day, the Prescott Journal-Miner described the Hassayampa Inn as follows: ""The building itself has more the appearance of a palatial home than a hotel. Of modified Spanish architecture, it differs refreshingly from the accepted stucco type, in its walls of ruffled brick in shades of deep red and blue, which catch and reflect the sunshine in rainbow tints. The trim is of white, with plaster medallions set at intervals along the top and a white wainscoting on the garden side. Cornices of Arizona Copper gleam in the sun."" The Hassayampa Inn was listed in the National Register in 1979 and restored in the late 1980s.","34° 32.533′ By Joseph Cavinato, January 1, 2003 2.

The highway was later re-routed and this section eventually renamed Portola Avenue The garage sold gas and associated oil products and also performed repairs. In 1923 the south half of the garage was added. This half became a automobile dealership, selling Durant, Flint and Star models. Robert Livermore Jr. was one of the salesmen in the early 1920?s.
