-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 North|21st Street]].
