Birmingham Historical Society today called on the public for sug­ gestions as to historical spots in the area that should be marked, simul­ taneously it announced its next marker will be placed at the site of the old Relay House at the foot of 19th-st. ' Having just placed a marker this past Sunday at the site of the Walker Memorial Church, the so­ ciety has some 10 . or 12 similar markers it plans to place in the next 12 months. "But there must be other his­ torical sites that we are overlook­ ing!" President Hill Ferguson said, "and we would welcome sugges­ tions." Alex Montgomery is chairman of the society's marker committee, and is making arrangements for the placing of the Relay House marker, which probably will be set in con­ crete in the sidewalk. Birmingham's first hotel, the Re­ lay House was built in 1871 when the bustling new metropolis was a-borning. Most of the men re­ sponsible for the hotel being built at the juncture of the South and North (now L. & N.) Railroad and the . Alabama and Chattanooga (now AGS) Railroad, were its guests. The Elyton Land Co. placed a 5 per cent assessment on its capital stock in mid-1871 to build the ho­ tel. It had 37 rooms, with "mod­ ern" improvements such as gas fix­ tures, a cistern and bells connect­ ing each bedroom with the office. Its cost was $13,974.08. A few months' later, on Dec. 19, Birmingham was incorporated. Shortly thereafter, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad took over the South and North line, and complet­ ed a 66-mile gap that lay between Birmingham and a point south of Decatur. In 1886 the Relay House was torn down to make way for a brick L. & N. Station, the same one in use today.

  • Annual Report 2010 Brochure
    Annual Report 2010 Birmingham Public Library Annual Report 2010 o paraphrase Charles Dickens these are the best of times and the worst of times for the Birmingham Public Library. It is the worst of times because the library’s budget has been slashed for Fiscal Year 2011 and there is no relief in sight. The library’s acquisitions budget Twas cut 48 percent. The City of Birmingham’s Volunteer Retirement Incentive Plan (VRIP) netted a loss to the library of 25 positions (from a total of 170 full time positions) held by long time experienced library staff. The Mayor’s Office has at this time given us permission to fill only twelve of these positions. The loss of these 25 employees is greatest in the area of leadership. For many years the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) has depended on a leadership team made up of ten coordinators who oversee a function of the library or a geographical area of branches and public service. Six of the retirees were coordinators and the City will allow us to fill only one, the Information Technology Coordinator. In addition we will not be allowed to fill the second Associate Director position. The loss to our leadership team is almost fifty per cent. From a team of thirteen we will be a team of seven. Cuts to the budget of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative threaten BPL because the Cooperative provides the backbone of our day to day operations – our online library catalog, Internet access, and much more. These are the best of times for the Birmingham Public Library because we have the finest staff and board remaining who have the intelligence, creativity, and determination to rise to the many challenges of this crisis and continue the excellent service that is BPL’s tradition.

  • THE ANDERSON SHERIFFS of JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA with Additional Materials for All Jefferson County Sheriffs from 1819 Forward
    THE ANDERSON SHERIFFS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, ALABAMA With additional materials for all Jefferson County Sheriffs from 1819 forward. Two of the early Jefferson County Sheriffs were Anderson, Peter August 7, 1835 - - August 25, 1838 August 25, 1841 - - August 23, 1844 August 12, 1847 - - August 17, 1850 and his son Anderson, Thomas A. September 2, 1880 - January, 1885 [?] Peter Anderson was the great-great-grandfather of Martha {Skinner} Thomas, and Thomas A. Anderson was her great-grandfather. Direct family links to those two early Sheriffs of Jefferson County stimulated this project. These materials were prepared January-May, 2004 by Carl O. Thomas & Martha S. Thomas Knoxville, Tennessee To the best of our knowledge, materials included here are generally in the public domain. Others should feel free to make use of these materials. In such cases, please provide reference to the original sources that are cited throughout the following text. 1 Appreciation A number of sources were used in preparing these materials. One important source was “A List Compiled in The Department of Southern History and Literature,” of the Birmingham Public Library, Birmingham, Alabama, September 16, 1943. A copy of that list was provided by the kindness of Jack and Judi Parker, Birmingham, Alabama. They also provided the photographs of old grave markers from the Pinson, Alabama area. Judi Parker also provided help with genealogical searches, and with historical information about the Pinson, Alabama area. Another important source was material found at the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department web site, identified in the text. This includes an historical listing, and a large - though not complete - gallery of photographs of past sheriffs.
