TRUSTMARK BANK (COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK)

-A A +A
1969, William F. Cann. 415 N. Magnolia St.

Built to a design by Cann of the Bank Building and Equipment Company, a national design/build firm, this four-story New Formalist building employs classicism to symbolize institutional solidity and tradition. The walls are of long and narrow concrete bricks finished to resemble marble. The three-story monumental arcade wrapping three sides of the rectangular building is carried on tapering concrete columns that flare at their tops to support a heavy cornice. The one-story off-center canopied entrances on the west and south add unexpected asymmetry to the otherwise symmetrical composition.
