Once one of the finest buildings in Northeast Tennessee, the First National Bank at the corner of Broad and Center streets opened its doors in 1927, a massive three-story structure adorned with white marble walls and windows that spanned two stories high.

Now more than 80 years later, the building is getting a new lease on life — thanks to John and Angela Vachon.

What a great attitude. And a beautiful building!
