APPLICANT: Historic Preservation Commission

The subject property is located at 1400 South Main
Street and platted as Lot 1 R1, Block 1, First National
Bank.
REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 1400 South Main Street and platted as Lot 1 R1, Block 1, First National Bank.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their May 28, 2014 meeting, adopted the
preservation criteria for the subject property addressing such issues as setbacks,
driveways, parking, exterior finishes and other architectural embellishments to preserve the
historic integrity of the property.
On April 23, 2014 the Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to bring
forward a case for landmark designation of the First National Bank Building property
located at 1400 South Main Street. The ca. 1970 building, constructed as the First National
Bank of Grapevine and is now owned by Wells Fargo Bank, is one of Grapevine's most
iconic structures. It marks the south Gateway Entrance to Grapevine's historic Main Street
HL14-05.41 1 September 10, 2014 (2:38PM)
at State Hwy. 114. This five -acre tract of land was purchased in 1963 by Mr. Joseph N. Box
as the most desirable of available locations. The building's sleek cubist design is unique in
Grapevine and adds sophistication to Historic Main Street with its clean lines, high quality
materials, and sophistication exemplified through simplicity.
Designed by architect George Dahl, well known for his c. 1965 52 -story First National Bank
Tower of Dallas, this is the second building on Main Street added by the Box family which
adds an unusual level of quality to Grapevine's commercial district. In 1942, Mr. D. E. Box,
father of Joseph N. Box, built the new First National Bank of Grapevine building at the
corner of Worth and Main Street. The new 1942 building, was designed by renowned
architect Walter Ahlschlager. Mr. Ahlschlager also designed the Roxy Theatre in New York
City, the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, the Republic Bank Building in Dallas among many
other structures in Chicago and around the world.
Joseph Box, following his father in business and in thinking, sought the finest architect for
this second bank building, Mr. George Dahl. Joseph Box brought this building to
Grapevine's Main Street and made the following quote in the March 27, 1969, Grapevine
Sun newspaper: The purpose of the new bank building "... is to keep pace with the growth
and progress of the bank and the entire Grapevine community...." The building was built
and equipped at a cost of more than $600,000 in 1970; in today's money it would be
valued at $3,348,000. Mr. Box also said in the July 2, 1970, Grapevine Sun newspaper
that he felt that the "14,000 sq. ft. edifice faced with Georgia white marble was designed to
benefit the whole of the Grapevine community by attracting new businesses to the area."
At the July 15, 2014 public hearing, the applicant expressed concern about the entire
property being placed within the historic overlay and did not sign the Historic Landmark
Subdistrict application. Discussion centered on the extent of the historic overlay and the
Council and applicant agreed that the overlay should be focused only on the original one-
story, 14,000 square foot bank building. The attached preservation criteria has been
modified to reflect preservation of the original bank structure (minus the marble veneer)
and a new application has been submitted which the applicant has signed.

banking facility (Wells Fargo).

First National Bank of Grapevine
1400 South Main Street
Architect George Dahl, c. 1970
Constructed in 1970 the First National Bank of Grapevine, now owned by Wells Fargo Bank, is one of Grapevine's
most iconic structures. Located at 1400 S. Main Street, the south gateway entrance to Grapevine's Historic Main
Street at State Hwy. 114, this five -acre tract of land was purchased in 1963 by Mr. Joseph N. Box as the most desir-
able of available locations.
Its sleek cubist design is unique in Grapevine and adds sophistication to historic Main Street with its clean lines,
high quality materials, and sophistication exemplified through simplicity. Designed by architect George Dahl, well
known for his c. 1965 52 -story First National Bank Tower of Dallas , this is the second building on Main Street
added by the Box family which adds an unusual level of quality to Grapevine's commercial district. In 1942, Mr. D.
E. Box, father of Joseph N. Box, built the new First National Bank of Grapevine building at the corner of Worth
and Main Street. The new 1942 building, was designed by renowned architect Walter Ahlschlager. Mr. Ahlschlager
also designed the Roxy Theatre in New York City, the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, the Republic Bank Building in
Dallas among many other structures in Chicago and around the world.

Historical Significance
Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on
neighborhood, on the city, etc.
The First National Bank of Grapevine started October 29, 1919, as the Tarrant County State Bank in small, rented
quarters at 336 S. Main Street with capital assets of $25,000. Founders included T. B. White and J.E. Foust, inactive
President and Vice President, respectively. D. E. Box was Cashier and Manager and J. W. Harrison, Assistant Cash-
ier. Others were Dr. J. C. Bennett, W. R. Buckner, D. A. Cribbs, J. J. Dougherty, T. J. McPherson, W. N. Sanders,
H. E. Saunders, J. D. Thweatt, and R. Lee Thweatt.
Opening a bank in a town of about 600 persons, with two other much larger banks already well established, was a
bold venture. Its slow start was reflected in opening day deposits of $13,000 ($4,000 by Casbier Box). The total
monthly payroll was $200. Capital was increased to $50,000 a few months after opening and a number of sharehold-
ers increased to about 65.
In 1921, the bank moved into a building which it had purchased and remodeled at 332 S. Main Street (later The
Grapevine Sun building). In 1924, T. B. White resigned as President and was succeeded by D. E. Box on Feb. 8,
1924. D. E. Box served in the position exactly 33 years in addition to also serving as Chairman of the Board for
several years prior to his death on April 19, 1957.
In 1927 the bank absorbed one of the other two banks, and in 1933 the other remaining bank decided to discontin-
ue its operations and paid off its depositors in full. The bank which had become a national bank in 1925 changed its
name on January 1, 1942, to First National Bank of Grapevine just before moving into its newly built, and then spa-
cious and elaborate building, which it had just completed in March 1942 at 324 S. Main.
Joe N. Box, who had started working in the bank in 1937, succeeded his father as President on Feb. 8, 1957, and at
present (1977) is Chairman of the Board and principal stockholder. Joe and the directors soon decided that the
growth of the bank and the Grapevine community would require expansion of its quarters to be adequate for pre-
sent and future operations.
In 1963 after much study and research a five -acre tract at 1400 South Main at Highway 114 was chosen as the most
desirable of available locations. Plans were developed, a new, modern building was constructed, and the move was
made June 22, 1970.
Officers in 1977 included Mrs. D. E. Box, Honorary Chairman, Joe N. Box, Chairman, J. N. Wood, Vice Chair-
man, and B. J. McNabb, President and Chief Executive Officer. There were 14 directors, plus 2 advisory directors
and approximately a total of 40 employees.

McNabb, veteran banker and businessman, joined the bank as Executive Vice President

directors, plus 2 advisory directors and approximately a total of 40 employees.

The subject of this Historic Landmark Designation is the exterior facade of the single story,
14,000 square foot structure located at the northwest corner of Main Street and State
Highway 114 in Grapevine, Texas, and being further described on the Site Plan attached
hereto as Exhibit "A".
The owner of the Subject Property will use reasonable efforts to preserve and stabilize the
original building form and revised stucco facade design and paint color approved by the
City of Grapevine on May 22, 2014, Project #COMA -1 4-1210.
Often, "modern" renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the original style
may be recreated through the use of historic photographs.
Where replication of the original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the
original style of the building may be used.
Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or
additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such are and skill that the
renovation itself is worthy of preservation.
Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, form and level of detail
of the original design.
Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in
kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to
historic siding materials. The application of such modern synthetic materials often involves
the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets,
window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing
such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish
and appearance.
Original window location and configurations should be maintained. When replacement is
necessary, it should be done within existing historic opening using the same sash size to
avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. The window tint shall be consistent with
that of the original windows.
