The Agee House in Birmingham, Alabama, at 1804 Twelfth Ave. S., was built around 1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.It is significant as the "only existing example of fully-developed Shingle style architecture in Birmingham": "The house features important features identified with the style such as an overall free form entirely covered with textured shingles, a hipped roof with multi-cross hipped dormers, a half round two-story bay with a roof which blends into the volume of the main house roofline, banded windows and wrap-around porches. Dissemination of the academic Shingle style across America during the late 19th century was widespread but never highly popular, and it is especially rare in Alabama."The house's wide eaves seems to evoke the later Prairie Style, and the repeated curves presages the later Streamline Moderne style.

It is one of the most densely populated residential neighborhoods in the city and home to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and its adjacent hospitals, the state's second-largest employer.

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Birmingham, Alabama, is a parish church of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. St. Andrew's was founded in 1902 as a church school for children who could not get to the downtown Church of the Advent on Sunday. In the following year, the mission was expanded to include Sunday services. A site was acquire and a small church built; the first service was held on Easter, 1905. In December of that year, the parish was incorporated; it was admitted to full parochial rights at the Diocesan Convention of 1906. The original church building, a few blocks from the present church, was destroyed by a tornado in March, 1913. The parish had been considering a new building further up Red Mountain; now they had to act. The present site, at the corner of Eleventh Avenue and Twelfth Street South, was acquired and the cornerstone laid by Bishop Charles Beckwith on St. Andrew's Day, November 30, 1913. The current building was first used at Easter, 1915.Soon after St. Andrew's was established, the rector Raimundo de Ovies, teamed up with The Rev. Carl Henckell, pastor of All Saints Church, to found Holy Innocents Hospital for Children (later Children's Hospital of Alabama). The hospital was founded in 1911 and originally operated under the auspices of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. From that time until after World War II, St. Andrew's remained an ordinary medium-sized parish serving the immediate neighborhood. It was not particularly noticeable for its outreach or services. The parish, made up mainly of small business people and some professionals, was hit hard by the Great Depression. The expansion of the city over the mountain, begun in the 1930s and heightened after 1945, drained some of the traditional base of membership. However, another change had begun which was to give St. Andrew's a special character and a unique place in the Diocese of Alabama. Beginning in a small way in the early 1940s, St. Andrew's gradually became an Anglo-Catholic parish with an emphasis on the celebration of the Eucharist and on traditional ceremonies and liturgy. Father Robert Yancey Marlow (priest from 1951 to 1959) strengthened the “high” church profile of the church, as did Fr. Robert Woodfield and Fr. Bruce Wirtz. As this Anglo-Catholic parish, St. Andrew's often led the way in Alabama in liturgical innovation and experimentation. The “bells and smells” of ancient practice have been happily combined with the contemporary language of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer and increasing lay participation in all aspects of parish life. These liturgical elements have attracted new parishioners to St. Andrew's, but an equal attraction has been its outreach ministry. Since the 1960s, this parish has addressed the issue of racial exclusion in the Episcopal Church, advocated the consecration of women priests, welcomed gay and lesbian members, supported ministry to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, established a soup kitchen (which became Community Kitchens) with the efforts of Fr. Maurice Branscomb, provided group homes for the mentally challenged through the St. Andrew's Foundation fostered by Fr. Francis Walter, ministered to people with AIDS/HIV, offered literacy training for adults, and produced the Red Door Arts workshops and concert series. A new parish hall was built and dedicated on Epiphany, 1989. After a million dollar capital campaign in 2000, the church itself was historically restored and new roofs were put on the parish hall and church under the charge of Fr. Marc Burnette. The parish sent a record number of people to seminary from 2005 to 2013, including Robyn Arnold, Geoff Evans, Jeff Evans, Seth Olson, Bentley Manning, and Tommie Watkins. St. Andrew's has a long list of vigorous, energetic, and faithful rectors, including: Raimundo deOvies 1905 - 1912 Willis Gaylord Clark 1912 - 1915 Wilmer Smith Poyner 1916 - 1918 Joseph Todhunter Ware 1918 - 1925 Vernon Cochrane McMaster 1925 - 1934 Capers Satterlee 1935 - 1939 James William Brettman 1939 - 1944 Conrad William Myrick 1945 - 1951 Robert Yancey Marlow 1951 - 1959 Robert Charles Woodfield 1960 - 1963 Wallace Bruce Wirtz 1963 - 1970 William Maurice Branscomb 1971 - 1984 Francis Xavier Walter 1985 - 1999 William Marc Burnette 2001 - 2009 From 2011 - 2020, St. Andrew's experienced three priests who left the church abruptly through various unfortunate circumstances, including Ed Hunt, Michael Rich, and Tommie Lee Watkins, Jr., who was the first openly gay African American ordained in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and the first African American to serve as rector of St. Andrew's. Watkins helped establish the St. Andy's Food Pantry, which serves the neighborhood on two Saturdays each month. The present church building, completed in 1915, was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The brownstone edifice was designed by the local firm of Joy & Marriott, patterned after English Gothic parish churches.

The Jefferson County School System is the second-largest public school system in Alabama, United States. It is the third oldest school system in Jefferson County preceded only by the Birmingham and Bessemer School Systems. The Jefferson County School System was created in 1896, and initially served all unincorporated communities and cities in the county other than Birmingham and Bessemer. Beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s various other cities began to establish their own separate systems (i.e., Homewood, Midfield, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, etc.). Today the County system serves students in those unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, Alabama such as Alliance, Bagley, Concord, Corner, Forestdale, McCalla, Minor, Mt. Olive, and Oak Grove. It also includes students who reside in the cities of Adamsville, Clay, Fultondale, Gardendale, Graysville, Hueytown, Irondale, Kimberly, Morris, Pinson, Pleasant Grove, and Warrior among others. Those cities listed below each have a city-based school system, therefore, their students do not attend schools in the Jefferson County School System: Bessemer (Bessemer Public Schools) (established in 1887) Birmingham (Birmingham City Schools) (established in 1874) Fairfield (Fairfield City Schools) (established 1923?)
