SEPTEMBER 28 ISSUE ANSWERS (photo to right): Remember last week’s version of the corner bank in Romeo? This is the second version of that original brick building. After replacing the windows and updating the old brink bank interior in 1901, the Board of Directors, in 1912, decided to extensively alter the exterior and hired architects to supervise the remodeling. (The above photo.) The Savings bank in completion with the Citizens Bank to the north, in 1926 razed the building and the store to the south and constructed a bank twice the size as the above bank. The current PNC bank on the southwest corner in Romeo is an example of Beaux Arts Classicism, a style based on scholarly study of the architecture of the past. The use of ancient, classical styling borrowed from the Romans, lent the bank an impressive and dignified air. Romeo Historical Society Archives
