You’ve got me at the wrong time sugar.

[pastelispunx]

why have a tripped and fallen headlong into this. I THINK my first MCR show was when they opened for Green Day in Norfolk VA in 2005. I THINK it was. Literally that was my friends birthday gift. The two of us got to run around the city alone and go see the MCR/Green Day show? Which is alarming bc I was in middle school.... We should not have been left to wander an unfamiliar city alone. Glad I wasn't kidnapped or murdered.

National Bank of Virginia

1018 East Main Street Built, after 1865 Demolished, 1930

[RVCJ03] — intersection of Eleventh & Main Streets, circa 1903

A bank that became a power house.

(LOC) — Custom House & Capitol after the Evacuation Fire  — 1018 East Main Street out of shot to the right

The National Bank of Virginia building was constructed in the wake of the Evacuation Fire that swept through the city in 1865. Richmond’s payback for letting the Confederate government and retreating soldiers escape across the James, was to have the armory, bridges, and warehouses torched by those selfsame Confederates on a windy night in April.

[Library of Virginia] — [MCR] — shaded areas showing Evacuation Fire destruction

Predictably, it didn’t end well. In a day when fireproof construction was still an elusive vision, the smoking crater that emerged where the city’s commercial district had been was surprising only for its enormity.

(LOC) — Beers Illustrated Atlas of the Cities of Richmond & Manchester, 1877 — Plate K

The fire was catastrophic, but also a boon for business, sparking a rebuilding frenzy that required both lumber and capital. In this regard, National Bank of Virginia was fortunate to be one of the eleven banks authorized by the Union to lend money in 1867. [COC]

(LOC) — Beers Illustrated Atlas of the Cities of Richmond & Manchester, 1877 — Plate K

Indeed, the bank itself was a kindred spirit in this frantic building program. Needing a place to call home, the headquarters at the corner of Eleventh and Main Street was raised, which interestingly enough, shared a number of similarities with the Richmond Dispatch building one block to the east.

[RVCJ03] — Interior View, circa 1903

National Bank of Virginia was still going strong when the Chamber of Commerce published Richmond Virginia, The City on James in 1903, boasting $631,828 in Capital and Surplus; $2,374,100 in Deposits, and $3,593,428 in Resources.

[RVCJ03] — circa 1903 — W.M. Habliston & Tucker K. Sands

At that time, the local business world was completely incestuous, with executives working across multiple institutions. In this, National Bank of Virginia was no exception, with both its President, W.M. Habliston, and Cashier, Tucker K. Sands, pulling double duty at Broad Street Bank as President and VP, respectively.

(ProQuest® Sanborn Maps Geo Edition™) — Sanborn Insurance Maps of Richmond 1924-1925 vol. 1, 1924 — Plate 11

Still, all good things come to an end. In 1912, National Bank of Virginia merged with First National, prompting the construction of the handsome First National Bank Building at 825 East Main Street in 1913. The facility at Eleventh Street continued to serve as a bank in the years following, but was inexplicably renumbered as 1016 East Main.

(ProQuest® Sanborn Maps Geo Edition™) — Sanborn Insurance Maps of Richmond 1919-July 1950 vol. 1, 1924-Apr. 1950 — Plate 11  

Even that did not last. The Customs House adjacent to the old bank building, had expanded twice, in 1889 and 1918. It did so again in 1930, consuming the entire city block, and elbowing that portion of Eleventh Street between Main and Bank Streets into a new life as a drive way.

October 2017 — former intersection of Eleventh & Main Streets

Merchants National Bank wed First National in 1926, and First & Merchants Bank was the fruit of their union. In 1983, F&M merged with Virginia National Bankshares of Norfolk to beget Sovran Bank, who then merged with Citizens & Southern National Bank in 1990 to stave off a merger with the omnivorous NCNB. It only delayed the inevitable, and C&S/Sovran merged with NCNB to form NationsBank in 1991, ultimately becoming Bank of America when it acquired BankAmerica in 1998.

Quite the lineage.

The Customs House itself transformed into the main Post Office, a role it served until 1970, when the new main office was built on Brook Road. Today it has been converted to a federal courthouse, the US Court of Appeals.
