2210 2nd Avenue North is a 2-story, 7,000 square-foot red brick commercial building constructed in 1907 on Block 83, at 2210 2nd Avenue North in downtown Birmingham.

The building is listed as a contributing structure to the Downtown Birmingham Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. In the listing it is noted for its "fine brickwork, pressed metal cornices with running dog frieze, segmented arch window opening, pressed metal brackets and cartouche," and described as, "a particularly intact example of the Beaux Arts influence on early 20th-century commercial architecture."

Clyde Aldridge Furniture Co. moved out of the building after the store's inventory was damaged by fire in the 1960s.

Tammy Cohen acquired the recently-renovated building for her Cohen & Co. architecture firm in 1998.

Chuck Geiss and Bill Mudd purchased the building from Cohen in 2005 and used it as the offices of Geiss' Black & White alternative news weekly. The paper folded in 2013.

In 2014 Bolaji Kukoyi's engineering firm Dynamic Civil Solutions purchased the building. The City of Birmingham provided $60,000 in business incentives over three years to help keep the building from falling vacant.
