About this property

The Citizens Banking Company, at 112-116 N. Main St. in Baxley in Appling County, Georgia, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Its first floor includes a section which was originally a bank, with an oblique corner entrance, and also separate commercial space. The original bank was closed and sold at auction in 1917; two other banks subsequently used the bank space. It was deemed "significant in architecture as a fine example of a building built to be a bank and commercial structure during the early 20th-century Neoclassical era" including that it "exemplifies the strong, secured look that bankers sought in their turn-of-the-century buildings, obviously to stress the strength of their institution" and that it "is also a good and relatively early use of poured reinforced concrete construction in a small Georgia town." It was deemed "significant in commerce as a good example of the development of a small-town pre-Depression banking and commercial institution in the early 20th century."
