When this Mediterranean Revival style building opened in 1928 as the First National Bank, it was St. Augustine’s first high-rise and a proud symbol of Florida’s roaring land boom during the 1920s. Over the years it became the Exchange Bank, The Atlantic Bank and Espinoza-Sanchez. In 2014 it was renovated and renamed the Treasury on the Plaza. It’s enormous and opulent Grande Ballroom is now a venue for wedding receptions and special events. The former 18-inch steel bank vault is used as a service bar.
