Located off Perry Hill Road on the grounds of the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center, was built in 1994. Let’s call it “VA Georgian”, a creation evolved and imposed by a VA staffer in Washington (he first imposed it on a project that PH&J had at the Tuscaloosa VA back in 1981). For years the facility had been downtown, serving thousands of veterans back in post-WW II days when almost every adult male had seen military service. The VA is even more paranoid than ALDoT, but having spent 15 years working for the agency, I knew. I snapped this picture, jumped back in my car and drove off!
