The Bank of Ensley, at 19th St. and Ave. E in Birmingham, Alabama, was built in 1918. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
The bank was organized in 1899 and was the first bank in the western section of Birmingham. Three years after this building was built, the president and vice-president sold the business to a vice president and a former cashier. The bank "flourished" through the 1920s, but failed on January 10, 1930.[2]
The building, designed by local architect , is Classical Revival in style.[2]
