The Alabama Department of Archives and History building in Montgomery, AL consists of 179,514 square feet of space, which includes museum galleries, archival storage areas, and offices. The building is in the Greek Revival style. Ionic columns line the front and rear entrances.
The Adams Street entrance features five panels molded to represent the coats of arms of the five countries under whose authority Alabama existed at different times: Spain, France, England, the Confederacy, and the United States.
Two large bronze pocket doors originally stood at the entrance of the Archives. These doors, containing bas-relief panels designed by Nathan Glick, depict important scenes from Alabama history.
