New Citizens Bank & Trust Building in Southern Pines, April 24, 1925

New Citizens Bank & Trust Building, Southern Pines, N.C.

The Pilot has already described the new bank building soon to start on the lot the Page trust company bought from Mr. Perkins at Southern pines. The picture shown here tells the story more fully than words can.

Jackman has secured the one entire side for his lunch establishment, and about all the basement, and it goes without much debate that he will have one of the most interesting eating places in any small town in the South. Not many restaurants have their building designed by Aymar Embury, with flowers in the park in front and classic lines of architecture all around.

An Embury bank building is equally novel in modern construction. But the dream has been to get an Embury building on the business street of Southern Pines, and the Page Trust company will have the work in progress as soon as the plans are finished. They are expected any day.

Other towns or cities in North Carolina have more expensive banking houses than Moore county, but none has two or more attractive banking buildings than this one and the home of Bank of Pinehurst, over at Pinehurst. This pair are examples of building and of skilled architectural design and construction.
