1909. 204 Bank St.
Bank Street, along with Franklin, Holladay, and Pinner streets, was developed in the elite residential section of New Town by land speculator John Franklin Pinner. Turn-of-the-twentieth-century prosperity is obvious in this example of the Southern Colonial Revival, with its giant Temple of the Winds Corinthian columns. Truitt, a local lumber magnate, wanted to impress and hired an artist (reputedly from New York) to paint murals above the fireplaces. The house has 24-inch steel beams and 18-inch-thick brick walls.
