The First National Bank No. 1
Erected - 1883
Constructed in 1883, this building was originally the Lyman Bank and is the oldest brick building in the downtown commercial district. The bank was reorganized as the First National Bank of Sanford and in 1908 the building was remodeled.
The Neo-Classical style facade of white marble over a brick foundation has been partially masked by stucco. The floor plan is square and the roof is flat with a parapet. The original windows were arched on both floors but are now rectangular. In 1908 the main entrance was at the corner near the intersection of Park Avenue and First Street. It has since been moved to the center of the building on First Street. The Doric half columns flanking the main entrance and the pilasters running up to a second floor cornice are little changed.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places - 1976
