This news article will explore what faded brick building at 1101 Tuscaloosa Avenue, in Birmingham, Alabama. This faded brick building served as a storefront for several business which came and went over the years. 
The faded brick building was built in 1920 as a single story brick masonry building on slab foundation on a 9,250 square foot lot with 3,500 square feet of living space at the location of 1101 Tuscaloosa Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama. This building was designated as a commercial office for mixed use residential despite being located in a commercially zoned area designated as commercial.

H.G. Hill moved the Hill Grocery Company store into the faded brick building located at 1101 Tuscaloosa Avenue in 1935.

An apparel company called PGF Golf (PGF G.O.L.F. Apparel & Accessories, Inc. /GOD OFFERS LIFE FOREVER) began operating at this location in March of 2001. The apparel company marketed and had distributed inspirational loges and quotes on clothing. Tom R. Pams was the owner. PGF Golf ironically has nothing to do with or is affiliated with the sport of golf. PGF Golf operated under Mitchell Services Inc. for a few years before dissolving.

Yet the building is a former shell of itself as the interior seems to have set on fire by an arsonist. Honestly it looks like a bomb exploded on the inside severely damaging the integrity of the interior. The inside of this building is exposed and can be seen visibly from the road. Plywood covers some of the doorways, windows, and other entries. 
The address of this faded brick building is 1101 Tuscaloosa Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama, US 35211.
