The building dates from about 1907 and has an elaborate cornice in pressed tin. By 1927 the first floor had been refaced in a tile stippled to resemble marble. In addition to housing the bank, the building provides office space for several local attorneys, accountants, and architect John Desmond. Information and photo from 1960 Hammond ConSurvey |
