William Williams probably builds a two-story frame house at 111 Noble Street as an investment, about 1855
The 1982 Greenpoint Historic District report says 111 Noble Street was most likely put up around 1855 by William Williams as an investment. It is a two-story frame house that the report already called heavily altered: asphalt on the facade, replaced windows, and a newer brick stoop, areaway wall and porch.
“No. 111 was probably built about 1855 by William Williams for investment purposes. This two-story frame house is now heavily altered.”

The Landmarks Commission declines to act on a plan to demolish 111 Noble Street
The owner, 111 Nobel LLC, bought the house in 2016 for $1.9 million and proposed replacing it with a four-story brick and glass apartment building, saying it was unsound and altered. Members of the public who testified at the hearing were unanimously opposed. The Landmarks Preservation Commission took no action, finding too little proof that demolition was necessary, and suggested the developer consider alternatives such as an addition.
