S.H. Kress

Former downtown Birmingham dime store, S.H. Kress, has been converted to the law offices of Wiggins, Childs, Pantazis, Fisher, & Goldfarb, LLC.

This conversion features a new entrance on 19th Street opening to the reception/conference level. The original terrazzo floors and plaster ceilings were restored, mezzanine walls were removed and a glass railing was added to open the law library to the first floor. A grand staircase of metal and glass links the first floor conference center to the attorney floors. A rooftop terrace provides a gathering space for dining, lounging and enjoying the spectacular city views. The Kress Building won a Preservation Award from the Birmingham Historical Society and Best of Corporate Design from The IDIE International Interior Design Association in 2005.
