Bank of Belmont (aka Wells Fargo) building at 32 N Main Street


Built in 1926, this handsome three story Renaissance Revival bank is considered the most impressive in the downtown commercial district due to is size and sophistication.

The Bank of Belmont was organized in 1906 by R.L. Stowe and it was the originally housed in the Belmont Hotel Building. 

The lavish interior details abound, including the impressive lobby with marble sheathed walls and pilasters and barrel ceiling whose metallic ribs are painted in a floral design that is carried to the classic moldings and marble fixtures.

If you've never been inside this beautiful building, be sure to take a moment peak inside and enjoy the fine architecture of the lobby.
