The most notable example of Romanesque Revival-style architecture in Leesburg is the People's National Bank on North King Street. Constructed in 1905, the bank rises three stories in height. A massive round-arched surround set upon heavy piers frames the main entry. Typical of the style, the first story of the facade is clad in rough-cut stone and the windows have square-edged stone lug lintels.

- Historic District Nomination

The building served as a bank for nearly 50 years. In 1999 the building was restored to its Romanesque Revival grandeur. It now serves as a very popular restaurant in downtown Leesburg.
