"Only a few buildings in the district reflect the Classic Revival style. These include the National Bank of Monmouth (60) and the old City Hall (2). The National Bank of Monmouth, now occupied by the City Hall, has Beaux-Arts elements. The main entrance for example has an elaborate pediment with a shield in the center and is flanked with Corinthian columns." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
