Suburban neighborhoods south of Birmingham
At the turn of the last century, Birmingham residents seeking home ownership and escape from the smoke, congestion, and unhealthy living conditions of an industrial city, began moving south. New streetcar lines encouraged the move "over the mountain." By the 1920s, the rise of the automobile's popularity made possible more distant and exclusive residential communities.HM Number | HM1B2S |
