Noble Hall is built on the site where several businesses were damaged in a fire in November of 2013. It was intentionally built as a mixed use facility to provide a new home to business like those that were displaced due to the fire. It is named in honor of the "Noble Nine" - the trustees of Cullowhee High School, chartered in 1891. The Noble Nine supported Western Carolina University's founder, Robert Lee Madison, in the development of the "Cullowhee Idea."
