      The photographer was atop the old courthouse which was on the northeast corner of 3rd Avenue N and Richard Arrington Jr Blvd N/21st Street N. The photo was taken looking north toward what is now called Uptown. The original location of First Baptist Church was the southeast corner of 6th Avenue N and 22nd Street N. Once the church moved to Homewood, the new owner razed the church and the site is now a parking lot. (http://fbcbirmingham.org/about/history/)
