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.

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