Shelby County Bank

-A A +A
c. 1892. Northwest corner 6th and Market streets

The eye-catching feature of this two-story commercial block on a raised basement is the dramatic round tower on the second floor. This corner bay tower culminates in a pointed domed roof and is Queen Anne in flavor, but the building itself, with its arched openings, is mildly Richardsonian Romanesque in its presentation.
