The building, which is one of the ten original branches of the state bank, has most recently served as a premiere special events location. The classic Greek Revival architecture is modeled after the world-famous Parthenon in Athens, Greece. With an unbelievable and very beautiful dome, the building features approximately 5500 square feet over two floors.(Submitted on March 16, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
