A flagship building constructed in a location where the competition is fierce, this branch bank was designed to call attention to this bank as the only one which is locally-owned and –controlled.

The clerestory belvedere at the heart of the building gives it presence against the neighboring strip development and floods the banking floor with indirect natural light.

The wood roof, cypress rafter tails and casework and millwork details recall the city’s history as a lumber town and give the interior a comfortable feel.

The brick exterior gives the building an appropriate sense of security and permanence.
