From the National Register nomination
Two-story side-gabled building of brick laid in Flemish bond, with paired exterior end chimneys, a recessed two-level entry portico, molded cornice, and double-hung windows. The side of the building is turned toward W. Main, while the facade looks over a parking lot and small urban plaza toward N. Wayne Avenue. Fishburne's Drug Store, built on this corner in 1892, was demolished in 1979 along with several other buildings to make way for this bank building erected for Virginia National Bank, a successor to the Citizens-Waynesboro Bank that had previously occupied a portion of the site. The architect for the building was G. Lewis Craig & Associates, Architects, based in Waynesboro. The building later housed Sovran Bank, then NationsBank, and was recently remodeled for use as city offices and public meeting spaces.
