The Noble interior

The building

The South Side’s first skyscraper.

The Noble opened as the South Side National Bank, the first skyscraper South St. Louis had ever seen — ten stories of “Greco Deco,” a style that blends Art Deco with classical Greek and Roman detail. Grey limestone wraps the exterior, carved with eagles, seals, and geometric patterns.

Inside, it only gets richer — two-story windows, paneled vaulted ceilings, marble details, original chandeliers, bank teller windows, and an 8-foot vault door, all of it original.

The venue is named for the man who designed it — architect W. G. Knoebel.

Today the main hall seats 220 for dinner and opens to 350 for a standing reception — big enough for weddings, corporate events, and private events.
