A stately building in downtown Leesville… The Vernon Bank, opened in 1904… The Vernon Bank was located in the large commercial building built in 1907 by George R. Ferguson of Nona Mills Lumber Company. The bank portion of the building had a Romanesque style facade with arches over the windows and a corner entrance with a Corinthian column. During the 1950’s and 60’s the facade was replaced with tile, although this has since been replaced using windows and siding which are very similar to the original. Aerial photos taken this past weekend. Information from Museum of West Louisiana.
