Inscription. Completed in 1938 as a part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, the building began as a general retail store and service station operated by the Cahaba Cooperative Association to serve the Cahaba Project with fuel, food, dairy products, clothing, drugs, furniture, and merchandise of all kinds need by the residents. In later years it was used as a community center, school gym, and provided additional classroom space for Hewitt High School. In 1988 the building underwent a restoration and was renamed Heritage Hall where it became home to the Trussville Chamber of Commerce, Trussville Historical Museum and Arts Council of the Trussville Area.
