The William Nabors residence was the first house built in original city limits of Birmingham. The small wooden cabin was constructed in 1869 by William Nabors and sold a year later to the Elyton Land Company as part of the 4,150-acre parcel on which the new city was founded.
The house survived and was reused as a wagon-wheel works and a blacksmith shop by the Abel family. The Louisville & Nashville Railroad made brief use of it in 1887 as a tool shed before it was sold to Z. T. Partain who also operated a smithy.
The Steiner Brothers Bank purchased the house and its 25-by-100 foot lot on January 15, 1890 for $21,760, demolished the cabin, and began construction of the Steiner Building on the corner of 1st Avenue North and 21st Street.
