430 Main Street
First National Bank of Oxford
- The first bank in Oxford was established in 1866 by Daniel Draper and his two sons, William and James. D.D. Draper & Sons were also merchants and cotton dealers.
- A fire destroyed the building in December of 1883, it was rebuilt in 1884, and that very building still stands today.
- In 1888, D.D. Draper & Sons and Davis C. Cooper consolidated to form a state bank–the Bank of Oxford. In 1903 it became known as First National Bank of Oxford, and was instrumental in the financial stability and growth of Oxford. The bank had branches extend to Cleburne, Randolph, Clay, and Talladega County.
- In 1911, the building became a two-story and the marble facade was added.
- After the bank closed in 1932, several business were housed there.
- The building is now home to The Bank, a 1920s-themed restaurant and bar.
