Farmers & Merchants Bank

(Landmark Plaza)

One of the most intricately designed buildings to make this list, the Landmark Plaza Bank features detail after detail of façade work. The first floor is delineated from the upper with its use of stone features and cornices that invoke a more Grecian style. On the other hand, the upper floors follow a more Mediterranean style with its arches, tiled roof, and the finial on the street front corner of the building. (2017)
