Inscription. Situated along the Byler Road and designed by Strickland, Roberts, & Cooper of Gadsden, the Northwest Alabamian newspaper moved into its new building in 1974. One of the first Haleyville papers, the paper was originally known as The Square Deal, which began serving Winston and surrounding counties in 1906. The Haleyville Journal followed in 1911. In 1924, the Journal combined with a competitor, the Haleyville Advertiser, becoming the Advertiser-Journal. In 1962, the paper became a daily and was renamed the Daily Northwest Alabamian, and the Northwest Alabamian in 1965, when it became a twice-weekly paper.

Erected 2025 by Byker Road Tourism Alliance, with information provided by Horace Moore, the longest-serving NWA publisher.
