FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING |
| Description of Significance |
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF STRATFORD IS A TWO-STORY BRICK BUILDING THAT STANDS AS AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF LATE VICTORIAN STYLE ARCHITECTURE. BUILT IN 1907-1908, THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK COMBINES ELEMENTS OF THE ROMANESQUE REVIVAL WITH QUEEN ANNE DETAILS TO CREATE AN OPULENT VICTORIAN INFLUENCED RESOURCE. THE EXTERIOR FEATURES NUMEROUS PATTERNS AND TEXTURES, AND IS HIGHLIGHTED BY A TWO-STORY TURRET. SEVERAL CIRCA 1960 ALTERATIONS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN REVERSED IN AN EFFORT TO RESTORE THE BUILDING TO ITS ORIGINAL SPLENDOR. LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER 6/4/01. |
