"From 1870 to 1873, the Monmouth National Bank occupied the building then in 1874 built a new building across the street [today's Wells Fargo Bank] and the location became the Second National Bank. Note the very formal hooded pediment around the windows and the very formal pillared entrance. In addition note the large brackets accentuating the cornice and the dentils along the lintel separating the first and second floors." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
