Property Highlights

The property covered approximately 0.25 acres and is currently a vacant concrete slab that was once a building in downtown Bessemer. The building was occupied by the J. W. McDonald Furniture Manufacturing Company from at least 1965 until the building was razed. The building was torn down sometime between 2017 and 2019 when it was struck by a car, which caused enough damage to the building to justify its demolition.

The surrounding area historically has been a downtown commercial area with some residential homes. The properties immediately surrounding the subject property consisted of various types of retail businesses and local city government buildings.
