Bank of Carrollton - Carrollton, TX - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

The marker reads:

The bank building was started in 1907 and became the official home of the Bank of Carrollton in 1908. Brick from the Carrollton Brick Factory was used on the bank and it still has the name Bank of Carrollton in stone above the door. It was home to several banks and businesses on the Carrollton Square. In 1946 the building was purchased by one of the early settlers of Carrollton, J.T. Vandergriff. It has been in the family for 3 generations and over 60 yrs. In 2005, the building was restored to its original beauty by the heirs.
