Bem Price

Bem Price (born 1883 in Mississippi; died 1936) was an architect noted for his Italian Renaissance revival designs for Highlands United Methodist Church and Birmingham Fire Station No. 4.

Price was a partner of prolific Birmingham architect David O. Whilldin. He went out on his own in the early 1920s and was commissioned to design the new Minor High School.

Price married Maggie L. "Lutie" Bragg on November 23, 1904 in Mississippi County, Mississippi. They had two children, Lutie Price (1911–1995) and Bem Jr (1917–1985).

Price died in 1936 and is buried at Elmwood Cemetery.
