NRHP Registration Form"The Robinson Bank Building is a tangible link to the rapid commercial expansion created by the entrance of the railroad into Palestine in the late 19th cenmry. Since its construction in 1890, the Robinson Bank Building has housed numerous businesses, but the most significant was the Robinson Bank, an early banking instimtion in Palestine. The Robinson Bank, which operated under various names throughout its existence, occupied the building until the operation merged with the Royall National Bank in 1937. The building is an outstanding example of a Romanesque Revival commercial building."
