BB&T Bank (First National Bank of Saltville)

BB&T Bank (First National Bank of Saltville) Virginia Department of Historic Resources
1902. 109 Palmer Ave.

The earliest surviving commercial building in Saltville, the bank has rough limestone walls that contrast with its more refined Beaux-Arts Classical details. The building's recessed entrance is framed by Ionic columns and concludes with a parapet embellished with a cartouche and finials. The effect is sturdy and secure.
