Notes
  • Significance: This five-story tan brick international style building makes extensive use of stainless steel for both structural and decorative purposes. In 1951 TCI moved its main headquarters from the Brown-Marx Building, in Birmingham's City Center, to this hilltop site on Flint Ridge overlooking the Fairfield Works. The Chicago architectural firm of Holabird, Root and Burgee designed the $6 million facility for 1,300 employees. John W. Galbreath and Company, a Columbus, Ohio real estate and land management firm, financed construction of the office complex through the Flint Ridge Development Company, which leased the structure to U.S. Steel.
