Citizens Federal building

The Citizens Federal Savings & Loan Building (formerly the Calder Building) is a five-story office building located at 1728 3rd Avenue North on the corner of 18th Street in downtown Birmingham.

The building was purchased and renovated for $1.5 million in 1968 by A. G. Gaston for his Citizens Federal Savings & Loan. At the ribbon cutting ceremony in 1969 were Gaston and his wife, executive Louis Willie, Mayor George Seibels, Birmingham City Council president M. E. Wiggins and Jefferson County Commission president Cooper Green.

The building was transferred to Citizens Trust Bank of Atlanta, Georgia as part of the sale of Citizens Federal in 2003.
