Preserving Our Heritage

• The original part of our building was erected in 1892-93 in the Romanesque Revival style.


• All later additions to the building were built in a compatible style to the original building.


• The original interior section of the building includes some of the original neoclassical woodwork finishes.


• An earlier Empire style bank building erected in 1881, a year after the bank was founded in 1880, burned in the 1892 High Street fire along with a neighboring confectionary store. The safes did not burn and the coin contents survived.


• The new (and present) bank was heralded as "...the handsomest and most substantial banking house on the Eastern Shore, and is an ornament to the town of Cambridge." -- Democrat and News, April 8, 1893
