305 Jefferson Street is a historic warehouse in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built by grocery wholesaler W. L. Halsey circa 1925. Halsey operated the warehouse until 1957, when it was sold and rented to other tenants, at times including a beer distributor and a Salvation Army storage facility. It was subdivided into three units in the 1970s. The brick building is rectangular, with the narrow side facing the street. On the main façade, a double entry door is flanked by pairs of two-over-two sash windows. The south side of the building has two large openings for the warehouse doors; these have since been replaced with glass doors leading to the middle unit. Two of the three original sliding wood doors remain, and cover the glass entries in the middle unit. More two-over-two windows are distributed along the south wall. The rear originally had a warehouse door, now replaced by double glass doors, with a single two-over-two window on either side.

The area of Jefferson Street was known as "Grocery Row", due to the number of grocery, vegetable, and fruit warehouses on the block. 305 is adjacent to the Kelly Brothers and Rowe Building, which is next to the Lombardo Building, and is separated by a narrow alley from the Halsey Grocery Warehouse, and across the street from the W. L. Halsey Warehouse. The buildings lie one block south of the Huntsville Depot. [2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Donegan Block</span> United States historic place

The Donegan Block is a historic commercial building in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1870, it and the adjacent building, the Rand Building, represent a simplified Italianate architecture style common in smaller towns in the late 19th century. It is one of few remaining Italianate buildings which once were prevalent on Courthouse Square. The 2+12-story building is divided into four units, each three bays wide. The units are divided on the façade by brick pilasters, which were originally faced with cast iron on the ground floor. The two eastern units are combined, and share an entrance flanked by two multi-paned fixed windows on each side. The other two units have central entrances with one window on each side. The three eastern units are treated similarly, with triangular pediments and pilasters surrounding each door and window. The western unit had been modified with a recessed entry and windows, but these were later returned flush with the building and are topped with fanlights and segmental brick arches. Second floor windows on all four units are tall and narrow with arched tops and roll moldings with keystones. The attic level has short vents treated similarly to the second floor windows. A bracketed and denticulated metal cornice projects from the top of the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
