Riviera Beach Bank (c. 1952)

In one of the few instances where the Bank Building & Equipment Corporation designed a traditional (or revisionist/historical) style building, the Riviera Beach Bank is a Modern adaptation of Mid-Atlantic Classical styles seen generations previous.  No further information is available about how this design may be relevant to this local area or this client.  However, the style, complete with balustrade, cupola and weathervane either stood out among progressive building or fit into a larger development of classical design that was themed to match.
