First National Bank building, Terrell, Texas


This building is a frequent subject for posts here and on Brian's blog. It's no longer a bank, today it's home to an attorneys office. I think its pretty obvious why it's so popular, its a great looking building. Brian posted a picture last month from the same angle as my post today. I wanted to see what it looked like at night, so Saturday night while I was out, I set up my tripod and snapped away. The bank building is located on Moore Ave. which is also known as Highway 80. This is about a block west of yesterdays photo.

We have a similarly ornate, empire architecture, former bank building here in Mac-town. I have posted some pictures of the details but not one of the whole front of the building like you and Jim. I will need to get on it!

Also, want to recommend a book I picked up at the library called "Texas Towns & the Art of Architecture by Richard Payne. Check it out. It has motivated me to at least consider using his book as a model for a similar study of Mckinney architecture. You might consider doing the same for Terrell. Maybe you and Brian can join forces.

I have to agree w/ Rambling, why don't we still build structures this classy? That's a very good question!
Gorgeous pic!
