Heaviest Corner on Earth

Saturday, march 8^th, Tony and I was strolling around downtown Birmingham, AL and we found the «Heaviest Corner on Earth». At the corner, 20^th Street and 1^st Avenue North, look around and you will see four buildings that were finished within a few years of each other: the Woodward Building (1902), Brown Marx Building (1906), Empire Building (1909) and the American Trust and Savings Bank Building (1912). At the time, the height and mass of the buildings were so impressive that the intersection of 1^st Avenue North and 20^th Street was proclaimed the «Heaviest Corner on Earth.»
