Noah E. Carter (1863-1943), Architect
A carpenter by trade, Noah E. Carter practiced architecture from perhaps as early as 1912 until 1932, in Omaha and South Omaha, Nebraska. He was born in Ohio in 1863. He married Anna and together they had one daughter and six sons. One of these sons, Earl, joined him to form the partnership Noah E. Carter & Son, Architects. Noah Carter died in 1943.[4][5]
