Bank of Statesboro Building, 1911

Front view of the historic Bank of Statesboro building featuring ornate architectural details and a sign that reads 'ART GALLERY'. The entrance is flanked by decorative pillars.

One of the city’s most recognizable icons, the old Bank of Statesboro building is now home to the David H. “Hal” Averitt Center for the Arts. Mr. Averitt was a longtime member of the Statesboro City Council and later served as Mayor. His family’s foundations are actively involved in promoting the arts and history in Bulloch County and have marked and preserved many sites that would otherwise have been forgotten.

A historic building featuring a prominent entrance with the words 'Art Gallery' and 'Bank of Statesboro', adorned with red banners and large windows, set against a clear blue sky.

The curved shape of the building will get your attention, but even more extraordinary to me is the monumental arch which serves as the main entrance.
