Manchester Terrace is a 12-unit apartment complex surrounding a raised terrace with four shop fronts at street level, divided by a wide stairway. It is located at 720–228 29th Street South on Block 411 in Birmingham's Lakeview District. The mixed-use complex was designed in contrasting styles. The brick and half-timbered gables of the apartment building is an English vernacular style, while the stucco-clad shops with their barrel-tiled roof parapet and circular arched openings framed with spiral columns evoke Mediterranean architecture.
The building was erected in 1927 by the Maloney Construction Company. The original complex included a 12-car garage on the alley behind the apartments. It was later demolished.
