Classical Revival
The Bank of Lake Helen at 142 S. Lakeview Avenue incorporates
some elements of the Classical Revival style. The building has a
rectangular plan comprised of a one story component that
contains the historic bank and a small two story section utilized
as a residence. Both sections of the building are covered by
gable roofs. The one-story component has a symmetrical facade
and a portico integrated with the primary roof. The portico
features a louvered vent, stuccoed gable wall surface, a wide
frieze band, and Tuscan columns that rest on brick piers.
Fenestration includes large 1/1-light, double-hung sash windows
with transoms. The paired wood entrance doors have large
transoms. Window and door openings have cast stone lintels.
Sandstone brick serves as the exterior wall fabric.
