951 Government Building

951 Government Street Building, located in Mobile, Alabama, was originally constructed in 1958 as an eight-story modern office tower, designed by Memphis architect John Lee Hall. Known for its sleek mid-century design, ribbon windows, and cantilevered staircase, the building housed prominent tenants including Southern Bell Telephone, Liberty Mutual, and various federal agencies over the decades. It also featured a ground-floor cafeteria and on-site parking, making it one of the first commercial high-rises west of Broad Street and a symbol of Mobile’s post-war growth. Now repurposed, it serves as a historic, mixed-use development, featuring 48 market-rate apartments and approximately 5,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.
