Taylor National Bank

A.O. Watson of Austin designed this red sandstone building for the Taylor National Bank, which was organized in 1888. Completed in 1894, it also housed the law firm of Mantor and Briggs, an office of the Weather Bureau, and the Taylor Refining Company. Its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styling features detailing of limestone, granite, and pressed metal. The First-Taylor National Bank, formed by a merger in the 1930s, remained here until 1967.
