About This Property

This three-story Italianate building was built to house a bank, law offices and a cotton exchange. The original bank building was a wooden structure built in 1866, and it was rebuilt using local brick. In 1907, renovations were made for the owner’s cotton brokering business, and the building’s classic details were carefully re-crafted. A third floor with a skylight was added to provide the natural light needed to grade cotton - the longer the fiber, the more valuable the cotton
