The Age-Herald Building, at 2107 5th Ave. N in Birmingham, Alabama, was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]

It was designed by Birmingham architect William C. Weston and is "one of the best examples of the Beaux Arts style in Birmingham". Also the "building is strongly associated with a major early newspaper in Birmingham—The Age-Herald. It was constructed to house the paper shortly after its creation in 1909 from a merger of The Iron Age and The Elyton Herald, and served as the headquarters of that paper until 1920."[2]
