Summary[edit]

Description
English: Built in 1924-1926, this Classical Revival-style bank building was designed by Leo Herman to house the Commercial Bank and Trust Company of Bowling Green. The building later received a modern addition sometime in the mid-20th Century that is recessed from the original building and features a relatively blank facade and two concrete canopies in the front. The original bank building features a stone-clad facade with a large front pediment roof with dentils and decorative acroterions atop the peak and ends of the pediment, roman lattice window grilles on the fourth floor in the cornice of the building, a three-story fort portico with doric columns featuring egg and dart motif at the tops, an architrave with the words “Commercial Bank & Trust Company” carved into it, windows at the portico with decorative stone spandrel panels featuring decorative faux stone balustrades below the third floor windows and festoons and wreaths on reliefs carved into the lower portions of the panels, a front entrance with a protruding stone surround featuring a heavily decorated pediment with a cartouche in the center and bands of egg and dart moulding, and a decorative metal surround at the doorway, a darker stone base below the columns of the portico, giving the building a more Roman appearance, a side door to the upper floor offices, sitting on an unadorned stone facade next to the grand Classical Temple-inspired principal facade of the building. The modernist addition to the side is recessed with a front courtyard home to two sculptural concrete canopies, with ribbon windows and stone cladding, and stone panels that lend a Brutalist aesthetic to the side of the 1920s portion of the building. The building is a contributing structure in the Main Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
