GEORGIA: BANKS

Alma Exchange Bank & Trust
Alma, GA
This Alma Exchange Bank & Trust drive-thru branch was built in 1966. This location features giant parabolic curves and a tall freestanding sign tower. An identical bank was built in Sylvestor, GA afterwards. That building has been demolished. The Alma location is now endangered as the bank would like to build something with more space.

Eros World Tapas Bar
Atlanta, GA
The Eros World Tapas Bar, a restaurant and dance club, occupies a former Trust Company Bank which was built in 1965. The building was designed by Henri Jova. It sat vacant for many years before opening as Piebar, a hip pizza restaurant, in 2005. Eros has been here since at least 2008. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. [scan thanks Robby Delius]
