The First National Bank began business on March 10, 1904 in a building previously used by Jones & Co., Bankers. In 1905, it constructed a new facility on this site and remained there until fire destroyed the building on March 25, 1914. Another building was then constructed on the site, but it too was destroyed by fire on June 4, 1925. The current building was designed to be fire-proof. First National Bank occupied it until 1960, when Farmers & Mechanics Bank took over and remained there until September 2001. During that time, the Mt. Airy Building & Loan Association was started and located in the bank before later moving across the street.
