The Gadsden Times-News Building is a historic building in Gadsden, Alabama. It was built by the owners of The Gadsden Times-News in 1904. After changing their name to The Gadsden Times in 1924, the paper moved its operation to another building in 1927. It has since housed a variety of commercial businesses. The two-story building is brick and rounded on the street corner. The 4th Street ground-level façade has cast iron pilasters and entablature, with large windows surrounded by smaller panes. The second floor has a series of arched one-over-one sash windows and a cornice with heavy modillions, which is raised on the curve.[3] The building was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1982 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1][2]
