Bayview Community, Off Birmingport Road (State Highway 269), Birmingham, Jefferson County, AL

Significance: Bayview reflects the adoption of "City Beautiful" planning ideals, first expressed in the District in the exemplary planning at Fairfield, by a major industrial entity TCI which utilized these concepts for its worker camps. As a "model" mining community Bayview is the most fully-realized example in the District and also reflects the prevailing standards for geographic separation of race. The original plan defines two geographically distinct sections one for white workers and one for black workers.
