Derby Line National Bank // 1874

Another of the more stately institutional buildings in the small village of Derby Line, Vermont, the Derby Line National Bank stands out as an uncommon brick structure on the town’s Main Street. The bank was founded in 1851, as the People’s Bank in Derby Line and in 1865, it converted to a national charter and became National Bank of Derby Line. The bank provided citizens access to credit and as a result several small-scale manufacturing businesses were started in town. This brick banking structure was built in 1874 in the Italianate style with round arched windows, bracketed eaves, and granite block quoins at the corners. The bank was absorbed into the Community National Bank, who occupy the building to this day.

    I worked for Community National Bank for four years in the 90s. This was the headquarters building until the new office was built on the Derby Road at the junction of Crawford Farm Road. The new office predated my employment, but I think it was built sometime in the 80s.
