The Ensley Jazz House is a performance venue located in a redeveloped commercial building at 611 19th Street in Ensley.

The project was inspired by Ensley Alive, The Color Project Ensley and REV Birmingham's "Revive 2.0" project to activate vacant spaces in Ensley. The Ensley Cinema House, in the vacant former Birmingham Police West Precinct across the street served as a precursor.
