Beckers Block is a group of historic commercial buildings in Huntsville, Alabama. The two-story, five-bay structure was built in 1925. Each bay is separated by piers that project above the roofline. The center of each bay is raised above the parapet, creating a crenelated appearance. Below the parapet, a rectangular panel is formed from header courses. Cream-colored square stones decorate the entire façade.
The two southern bays were built for a J. C. Penney store, and feature display windows on either side of a recessed entryway. A panel of glass block stretches above the entryway. The northern three bays have single-pane windows flush with the façade with recessed doors. A row of four-by-two paned windows, mostly in pairs and once in a triplet, stretch above the three bays.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
