OLD PATAPSCO NATIONAL BANK OF MARYLAND

-A A +A
1905, T. Buckler Ghequiere. 8098 Main St.

This bank by Baltimore architect Ghequiere is built of Flemishbond brick with glazed headers and contrasting stone quoining, lintels, and cornice, and an oversized entrance pediment. Ghequiere’s work in Ellicott City followed in the footsteps of his uncle, Robert Cary Long Jr., who designed Mount Ida (c. 1833; 3691 Sarah’s Lane) and the Patapsco Female Institute. This bank replaced the first purpose-built bank (1887) designed by Charles E. Cassell; the Queen Anne-influenced building still sits adjacent at 8090 Main. A third bank, built by the rival Washington Trust Company (1906; 8137 Main), a white marble and terracotta Beaux-Arts classical building, was designed by Mottu and White.
