Samuel Noble Monument, Historical monument in Anniston, United States.

The Samuel Noble Monument is a commemorative statue of granite and white marble standing on the parkway median where Quintard Avenue meets 11th Street. Anniston accepted the design from Durham and Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, and the sculpting was carried out in Italy under contract to Morris Brothers of Memphis, Tennessee.

The monument was erected in 1895 to honor a man who founded a major iron company and brought Anniston into existence. His work in the late 1800s was fundamental to the city's creation and early growth.

The statue was unveiled by Noble's granddaughter, Elizabeth Roberts, after a parade through Anniston. Townspeople funded it with $5,400 raised several years after his 1888 death, and the National Park Service credits Noble alone as founder, though the Encyclopedia of Alabama names others too.

The monument stands on the parkway median at the junction of Quintard Avenue and 11th Street, so it is seen from the road rather than entered; visitors reach it on foot from the surrounding sidewalks. It is a freestanding sculpture with no enclosure, and the inscribed base can be read up close.

The townspeople credited only Noble as Anniston's founder, though the Encyclopedia of Alabama names everyone involved in the town's establishment. The statue was unveiled by Noble's granddaughter, Elizabeth Roberts, after a parade through the streets. The sculpting was done by unidentified craftsmen in Italy under contract to Morris Brothers of Memphis.
