Ohhhh you caught me with my head down...I apologize but I'm a little dizzy
from going a 'round'. You'll never believe what Mom has cooking in the Pot today.
Keep reading and you'll see why I'm dizzy.
Raleigh has a number buildings with very interesting shapes. Today we are featuring this very round bank.
Mom and Dad watched with amazement as this round building was erected...then imagine our surprise when we found out it was going to be new branch of First Citizen Bank. We certainly didn't expect this design from such an old and established bank.
They have very pretty landscaping. Lots of Crepe Myrtles line the side walkand these pretty Lantanas are nestled on either side of the front door.
This branch of Frist Citizens is located in the newly revitalized North Hills Area of Raleigh.
I tried to find some information on why this particular 1st Citizens branch was built round....

I tried to find some information on why this particular 1st Citizens branch was built round....There did not seem to be a reason. I suspect it was just to fit in with the modern surroundings.
Such a cool building!! We need more round buildings!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Madi!
We like the round bank=it's very unique...Hope you all have a happy holiday weekend and stay safe from Earl, sweet friends...xoxo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteMaybe they were going to make a tower and ran out of money :)
ReplyDeleteAll I can find is that I think that is their headquarters building, which may be why they did the unusual design.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a very clean and modern look, I like this building and the landscaping. I was looking at the upper floor and all the windows, imagine the views from up there. Better yet, imagine the photo ops from that vantage point.
ReplyDeleteSweet Madi, we hope you have recovered from your dizziness.
Hugs & Purrs,

What a cool bank!!!! Mama lived in a round house when she was young...maybe that's why she's always been dizzy????????
ReplyDeleteWe love y'all, and purr that you will have a grand weekend.
That is a neat building! Reminded me of an ancient ampitheatre. I bet it's lovely inside, too.
ReplyDeleteCool building! We want to invite you to our party.
ReplyDeleteOh Madi, that looks a very cool building. We wondered why it was built round - do you think that cos it was a bank they wanted to keep a look out for robbers?
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean that there are no corners inside?
Wonder where you would put all those things you usually shove into corners.
love and kisses

Very unique shaped bank!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they arrange the furniture with that shape!
Beautiful landscaping to enjoy, too!
That is a very smart bank. We have a programme called Grand Designs where it shows people renovating (usually expensive)properties. The bank reminds us of the programme where a couple bought an old water tower and converted it to a luxury home.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Madi we see why you are going round!
ReplyDeleteInteresting building shape especially for a bank.
