Regarding 920 Noble Street. Excerpt from the National Register nomination for the Downtown Anniston Historic District, which includes this building:
920 Noble Street, 1884 Two story brick with stuccoed facade commercial style row building, three bays, altered first level, single elongated arched windows with two over one wooden sashing and emphasized with hood molds in the side bays, a double hood mold in the middle bay over a replacement window. A decorative parapet across the front is clasped by two projecting pilaster-like terminations. The building is shown on the 1885 Sanborn map, and the 1887 Bird's-eye view map of Anniston pictures it as part of the “Opera House Block,” standing next to the Opera House, which was built in 1883 and razed in 1963.
