Relieved of its city hall status after the annexation, the upstairs became used entirely by the Library (they did not build separate quarters until 1950), while the street level was converted on one side to retail spaces, the longest-term occupant of which was the Morgan Brothers Department Store. The fire station remained until 1928, and subsequently that half of the first floor was converted to commercial use. The City of Birmingham did not sell the Woodlawn City Hall to private interests until 1940."

The Woodlawn Commercial Historic District is roughly L-shaped along 1st Avenue North, running northeast to southwest, and along perpendicular 55th Place. All buildings were constructed between 1908 and 1935.

Most all of the buildings located within the district are constructed in brick. One building has been covered in smooth stucco (inventory #11). Stone and terra cotta is used throughout the district as decorative elements (inventory #2, 3, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18). Many of the buildings are highlighted by decorative brick corbelled cornices (inventory #3, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17). The buildings within the district range in height from one, two, and three stories. All of the commercial buildings have flat or parapet roofs. Because of the urban location of the district, all of the buildings are situated close to the street and are either attached to one another or are separated only by an alley."

The Woodlawn Highlands Historic District (also known as the Crestwood North Historic District) is a historic district in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham was established in 1871, and grew quickly as a center of mining and manufacturing. Woodlawn was settled soon after the 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson opened the area to white settlement, and saw growth in the late 19th century as a suburb of Birmingham. The extension of the streetcar line from Birmingham in 1887 prompted developers to expand south of Woodlawn, between the Alabama Great Southern Railroad line and Red Mountain, an area that became known as Woodlawn Highlands. The houses in the district reflect popular styles at the time of construction; the earliest homes were Victorian and Queen Anne cottages built through the early 20th century. In 1910 Woodlawn, along with other neighboring cities, was annexed into the city of Birmingham. As more industry began to locate in Woodlawn, development in the Highlands shifted to include smaller and simpler homes for laborers in shotgun and hall-and-parlor layouts, alongside Craftsman and American foursquare homes for the professional classes. Throughout the 1920s, bungalows and Tudor Revival homes became the predominant style. Non-commercial buildings also were constructed during the 1920s, including the Woodlawn Infirmary (which was converted into apartments by the end of World War II), a small commercial area along Grand Avenue, and an elementary school. Following the war, a new addition consisting of ranches and minimal traditional houses was built. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

Avondale was a company town built around the Avondale Mills east of Birmingham, Alabama in Jefferson County. The town was incorporated on March 18, 1887. The city was annexed into Birmingham in 1910 and is now divided into three separate neighborhoods, North Avondale, East Avondale and South Avondale. The first residents of the area were clustered around "King's Spring" on the slopes of Red Mountain, now the site of Avondale Park. There was once a small skirmish near the spring when Confederates fired on Union soldiers watering their horses. The wife of Jefferson County sheriff Abner Killough was struck in the breast by a stray shot while sitting on her porch. Her wound is believed to have been the only blood spilled in the county during the war. The park was the largest in Birmingham until Ruffner Mountain Park was dedicated. It was known for the spring-fed grotto pool, an extensive rose garden, athletic fields, a secluded pavilion called "The Villa", and a large amphitheater that hosted a spectacular pageant in celebration of Birmingham's 50th anniversary in 1931. The park was also one-time home of the Birmingham Zoo, which at the time consisted mainly of non-exotic species with the exception of "Miss Fancy", an erstwhile circus elephant purchased by the Birmingham Advertising Club as a promotional novelty and then donated to the city. The spring emerged from a cave, now sealed off and proceeded to flow through the center of Spring Street (now 41st Street), the primary commercial center of Avondale. By the early seventies Avondale Park had developed a reputation as a drug-dealing area and the vicinity entered a long period of decline. However, the park has since seen a rebirth. In 2011, the city of Birmingham undertook a $2.88 million restoration of the park. In 2013, The Forest Park South Avondale Business Association sponsored the installation of free WiFi throughout the park. Beginning around 2011, the neighborhood redeveloped as a restaurant and entertainment destination featuring several breweries and concert venues. Avondale Park was a site for events in the 2022 World Games.The neighborhood is notable for its religious diversity, including Baha'i, Buddhist, and Quaker centers along with the regionally predominant Baptist and Methodist churches.
