One of the few buildings that survived the Lexington, SC 1916 fire. Located on the corner of East Main & Church street across from the county courthouse. The building also served as the post office for the town of Lexington until the 1960s.
The following comes from the nomination form to be listed.
Constructed in 1912 as the Home National Bank, this two-story brick building is laid in the Flemish bond with glazed headers. The main entrance, located at the corner of the building, has a concrete classical surround with a pediment supported by engaged Doric columns; the pediment features a bas-relief eagle. Fenestration on the first story consists of double windows with one-over-one lights surmounted by semicircular transoms with simple fan tracery and round-arched surrounds. Second story double windows have segmental-arched surrounds of brick. The brick water table, belt course, and decorative frieze cirsumscribe the building. A single door under a flat arch with concrete keystone on the Main Street elevation leads to the second floor. An original projecting, dentiled, concrete cornice has been removed, and a portion of the first story of the Main Street elevation was modernized in the 1950s. (
