Weatherford National Bank

Established in 1882 by pioneer J. R. Couts as the Citizens National Bank this endeavor has been a Parker County institution for 120 years. The dignified two-story cut limestone building completed in 1885 features fluted cast iron Corinthian columns capped by acanthus leaves windows hooded by stilted arches and an elaborately adorned cornice. A cut-corner entrance typical of the commercial buildings of this period is located on the southeast of the structure. A million dollar restoration in 1989 returned the building to its former historical façade. The structure houses one of the oldest Texas banks west of Dallas.
