medical offices? [gone]
Gadsden, AL
I believe this complex housed medical offices. It appeared to be vacant when these photos were taken in 2010. By 2014, the buildings had been demolished.

Post Office
Gadsden, AL
This Post Office was built in 1963. [map]

Convention Hall [gone]
Gadsden, AL
This Convention Hall was designed by Paul Hofferbert and built in 1933 as the Gadsden Municipal Auditorium. The canopy in front is clearly mid-century modern. It was renamed the Convention Hall in the 1960s. It was located just south of the Civic Center complex (shown below) and had been vacant since 2018. It was demolished in 2023.

Gadsden Civic Center
Gadsden, AL
This Gadsden Civic Center was designed by Paul Hofferbert and built in 1960. Around 2023, the city offices moved. There are plans to demolish these buildings for a new hotel. For more, see this website. [map]
