In the article you state "Work was completed in 1990". I'm curious where you got the 1990 date from. I saved a copy of the Nov. 7, 1984 edition of the Birmingham News and on page H1 there is a large photograph of the building and the caption states "Workers have finished about half the building and are concentrating on putting in such building systems as heating, cooling, and plumbing. The 18-story, $80 million building should be finished during the first three months of 1986". Robert Matthews (talk) 15:37, 8 December 2018 (PST)
