GREENVILLE MUNICIPAL COURT (FIRST NATIONAL BANK)

-A A +A
1903, Barber and Kluttz. 302 Main St.

In 1903, the bank moved from its 1883 Italianate building (DR15) at 201 S. Walnut Street into this larger, commanding Beaux-Arts classical structure. A stone pedimented portico supported by four monumental Roman Ionic columns of Tennessee marble dominates the two-story, tan brick composition that is enriched with modillions, dentils, and a pediment ornamented with a cartouche, a cornucopia, and foliation. Inside, an Art Nouveau stained glass skylight illuminates the former banking floor. A 1957 modernist annex was an early drive-through or “motor bank” in the state. The building now serves city functions.
