First National Bank

The First National Bank is a bank building in downtown Mobile built in the late 1800s with distinctive features of that period. The structure displays notable facade elements and continues to operate as a financial institution today.

The bank was established during Mobile's economic growth as a port city in the late 1800s to support local businesses. The building preserves the architectural style from this period of the city's expansion.

The building shows how banking evolved in Alabama and earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural importance. It still anchors the downtown area and reflects a time when banks invested heavily in impressive facades.

The building sits in downtown Mobile near restaurants and shops within walking distance. The location is central and allows visitors to easily explore the exterior and surrounding area.

The building still operates as an active bank today, blending its historical appearance with modern business operations. This dual role makes it a rare example of a well-kept 19th century bank building that continues to serve its original purpose.
