Ensley Company Store

This company store was established by the Ensley Land Company, owned by Enoch Ensley, near the Pratt coal mine. The town of Ensley was the location of the Tuxedo Junction nightlife center, made famous in Erskine Hawkins's song "Tuxedo Junction." The town is now a neighborhood in greater Birmingham.
