This historic reception site was founded in 1883, it would be almost a quarter of a century before First National Bank would commission William Lewis Plack, a notable Philadelphia architect, to design their second building in Havre de Grace. Deliberately designed to convey solidity, strength and security, Plack was inspired by the Renaissance-revival style made popular at the 1882-1893 Chicago World's Fair.
More specifically, the building is an adaptation of an 18th century English gatehouse or garden temple. Designers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries did not hesitate to draw from many styles; Plack and the bank building are no exception. The external facade of Port Deposit granite, each piece of stone was designed, cut and carved to fit in place, is closest to the English Revival.

My husband and I had an amazing wedding reception at La Banque and would not have changed a thing. We had a few things thrown at us, severe thunderstorms while guests arrive to the reception and losing power for hours during the reception; however, the place look AMAZING lit up with tons of candles.
