Our Office Shelby Roden LLC is located in the A.B. Loveman house in the Highland Park area of Birmingham. The house was built circa 1906 for Adolph B. Loveman, a Hungarian immigrant. Mr. Loveman founded a dry goods business in 1887 that became one of Birmingham’s signature retail establishments: Loveman, Joseph & Loeb. The home’s English-style neighbor to the north on Rhodes Circle was built at the same time for Joseph Loveman, Adolph’s eldest son.
The home is a fine example of early 20th-century Neo-classic architecture. The simple block of the house is made monumental by the richly detailed and pedimented portico with its clustered Corinthian columns and dentil moldings. Although the identity of its architect is obscure, it is attributed to the firm of Wheelock, Joy & Wheelock. It is thought to have been at least partially designed by Thomas U. Walter III, who was the grandson of the United States Building Capitol architect Thomas Ustick Walter. Of additional historical note, Arthur George “A.G.” Gaston (July 4, 1892 – January 19, 1996) spent time in the Loveman home as a teen-ager, where his mother was employed. As a young man, Mr. Gaston served in the Army during WWI. He returned to Birmingham where he created a business empire that included an insurance company, a construction firm, and a financial institution, CFS Bancshares. He also played a significant role in the struggle to integrate Birmingham in 1963.
