Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

First National Bank

First National Bank, Raleigh’s modernist drive-in as it appeared in the early 1960s.

First National Bank of Raleigh’s newest drive-in branch bank is located at South and Saunders Streets. It has won an architectural award for functional design and beauty. Facilities include drive-up teller’s window, as well as parking and covered walkway. It is southside Raleigh’s only bank.

Below it, in handwritten script:

Come in soon and often. We shall always try to serve you as you wish to be served.
Wm. Pitman Jr. (?)
Manager
