I have information about it - I'd have to dig it up - it's a copy of the original charter or something like that. It's my understanding that it didn't really close. It changed hands (a few times) and a new building was built. It's now SunTrust, but I understand they may move soon. I would love a photo if you can scan & send it as an attachment. My address is: web@brandywinemd.com. It had a porch? What I've been told is the original bank is a small building with no porch - maybe there was one before that, but sometimes porches are removed.
