Description: Birmingham, ALABAMA - Empire, Brown-Marx & Woodward Building - 1910: Built in 1906, the Brown-Marx Building is the second-oldest building on the Heaviest Corner on Earth, following the Woodward Building (1902). Once completed, the 16-story skyscraper was Birmingham’s tallest building, until the Empire Building went up three years later. Although it wasn’t Birmingham’s tallest building, the Brown-Marx was one of its most popular. The success of the Brown-Marx encouraged iron magnate William Woodward to purchase the building in 1908. Over the next two years, Woodward doubled the size of the building with the U-shaped expansion we recognize today. After years of decline, the last remaining tenants of the Brown-Marx abandoned the building in the early 2000s. Although several movements planned to renovate the building into apartment lofts, none made it past the planning stage. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1910, is in good condition but shows some edge wear and lost its stamp. Post Card Exchange Publishers. Birmingham, Alabama.
