Kernersville Bank Building

Kernersville Bank Building - Built in 1902 for the Bank of Kernersville (Est. 1903). The Bank of Kernersville was one of the most stable banks in the area. In 1933, when banks all over the country were locking their doors, this bank continued business as usual until all banks were ordered closed. Then it reopened on the first day any banks were allwed to open. Many people from Greensboro did their banking here due to the lack of banking facilities in their area. The bank merged with Wachovia Bank in 1965. The first telephone office in Kernersville was operated on the second floor of this building. The Kernersville Chamber of Commerce was housed in this building until 1992.
