It is faced in terra cotta and granite with Neo-Classical Revival detailing.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is Napa's most successfully designed commercial example of the Neo-Classical Revival, showing nearly all the style's elements. Its terra cotta and granite imitate marble, and its design conveyed security and tradition appropriate to a bank. It retains its original form, exterior classical detailing and commercial setting despite replaced windows.","narrative":"Built in 1917 at 1026 First Street in the center of Napa's downtown commercial district, this one-story brick building was the new headquarters of the First National Bank, which had operated in the city for more than fifty years. Measuring about 40 by 90 feet, it is faced in terra cotta and granite meant to resemble marble. The symmetrical front has paired engaged Corinthian columns, a floral terra cotta door surround, a horn-of-plenty cameo, and a dentiled, modillioned cornice. Nine bays of Corinthian pilasters line the southwest side. The nomination describes it as Napa's best commercial example of Neo-Classical Revival design, a style considered well suited to banks because it suggested stability and tradition. Alterations include replacement of the original windows and doors around 1980, a ca. 1966 interior remodeling, and a rebuilt rear wall from the 1970s. The building still keeps its proportions, exterior classical detailing and commercial surroundings. It remains in financial use.","period_of_significance":"1917","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Classical Revival (Neo-Classical Revival)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed use is still a financial institution; the interior was remodeled ca. 1966 and the windows and doors were replaced ca. 1980.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.653737-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/92001277.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001277/3be396a16d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92001277/3be396a16d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Sanfranman59","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:First_National_Bank,_1026_First_St.,_Napa,_CA_9-5-2010_2-27-40_PM.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Sanfranman59</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:First_National_Bank,_1026_First_St.,_Napa,_CA_9-5-2010_2-27-40_PM.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860010","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133308497"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/napa-county/first-national-bank-92001277/"}
