Commercial Building (First National Bank)
1926; 1936 interior remodeled; 1948 addition. 4 E. Main St.
The surviving unaltered section of this former bank's facade is the entrance, which takes the form of a triumphal arch. The door, tucked within the arch, is surmounted by a large window and the arch's interior surface is coffered. Cable molding and a tobacco leaf belt course extend from the spring of the arch, and a parapet rises above the projecting molded cornice. The addition of 1948 is clad in rectangular orange and white enameled panels.
