Regarding National Bank of Alamance. The Bank of Alamance, which was organized on June 1, 1899, constructed this building after outgrowing a smaller structure on the site. In 1907, the bank’s name became the National Bank of Alamance and in 1968 it merged with First Union National Bank. The former bank is one of the few that did not close during the Great Depression.
