It could have been the Tutweiler (sp?) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carl & Martha Thomas Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 2:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ALJEFFER] Birmingham circa 1945 looking for news reports At 02:29 PM 10/19/2006, you wrote: >My grandmother, Queenie Morris, died on September 12, 1945 after a >fall from a window of a hotel located at 205 N. 24 Street in >Birmingham. Was that the Hillman Hotel? I don't think it was the Hillman Hotel, unless my old brain is failing. To the best of my recollection, the Hillman Hotel burned to the ground some time in the thirties. There was another hotel located very near the offices of the Birmingham News newspaper, and the above address might fit that one better. If so, perhaps an inquiry sent to the archives of the Birmingham News might be helpful.

The Tutwiler was THE very elegant hotel in the center of down town Birmingham ... somewhere on 20th Street I think ... perhaps 3rd or 4th Avenue north. I believe that the original building is still there, but don't know if it's still used as a hotel, or by the same name. Carl, in Knoxville, Tennessee
