Building stone geology of First National Bank

This historic building was built in 1899 as the First National Bank in Media, PA. The building is excellent to help students learn not only about local history, but building stone geology. This building was designed by John Dilks and is an example of French Renaissance Revival architecture. The building is constructed of muscovite schist and granite pillars and accents.
