Tuxedo Junction

Tuxedo Junction was the street car crossing on the Ensley-Fairfield line at this corner in the Tuxedo Park residential area. The name also referred to a fraternal dance hall operated in the 1920's and 1930s on the second floor of the adjacent building, and to the 1939 hit song "Tuxedo Junction," written by Birmingham musician-composer Erskine Hawkins, who grew up nearby and became a well known big band leader in New York City.
