38-44 E Market St

From the National Register nomination

Classical Revival two-story building with stretcher-bond tan textured brick and Indiana limestone exterior. The first story has a banded smooth and quarry-faced stone facing and an entry (38) with a Colonial Revival surround with fluted pilasters and dentils and paterae in the frieze. In the five-bay second story the center three bays are surrounded with stone facing and there are reticulated vents above the three windows. The flanking bays are brick, and their windows have stone keystone lintels. The second-story windows are 1/1, and there are also narrow three-light windows in the first story. The Rockingham National Bank, which opened in the adjoining Newman-Ruddle Building in 1900, constructed this annex between 1924 and 1930. (It is possible the annex represents a remodeling of an earlier building.) The annex housed the bank tellers, bookkeeping department, and Director's Room. In 1943 the bank moved all its operations into this building. (Price, "Rockingham National Bank")
