Farmers and Mechanics Bank, Banking landmark in Georgetown, United States.
The Farmers and Mechanics Bank building stands at the intersection of M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, featuring a neoclassical design with a rounded corner portico.
Founded in 1814 by George Corbin Washington and Romulus Riggs, the bank operated independently until 1928 when Riggs Bank acquired its operations.
The structure represents early 20th-century financial architecture and contributes to the Georgetown Historic District, designated as a National Historic Landmark District in 1967.
The building now functions as a PNC Bank branch, maintaining its original banking purpose while preserving its historical architectural elements.
The dome and cupola atop the rounded corner portico received gold leaf gilding in 1961, creating a distinct visual element in Georgetown's skyline.
