It was built in 1919-22 by reusing the shell of an earlier hotel building.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is an outstanding local example of the Classical Revival style in a commercial building. It is also the headquarters of the First National Bank of Charleroi, a bank founded with the town in 1891, and it preserves hotel-era interior spaces from the earlier building.","narrative":"Built in 1919-22 on the shell of an earlier hotel in the center of Charleroi, this three-story brick and limestone bank building has a tall first story rising 25 feet and a Classical Revival facade with Tuscan columns, pilasters, a carved frieze reading \"The First National Bank,\" and an oval cartouche with the letters FNB. The building is regarded as an outstanding local example of Classical Revival commercial design. The original hotel, known as the Wilbur, was a late 1890s Richardsonian Romanesque building that received a fourth story around 1900, and some upper-story doors, casings and the central stair from the hotel period remain. The bank, founded in 1891, was the town's first bank and occupied the site a few doors away before moving here. Its architect, W.L. Stoddard of New York City, designed the transformation. The main banking hall, with its coffered ceiling and marble teller stations, remains the principal interior space.","period_of_significance":"1919-1922","architect_builder":"W.L.
