However,
in building our Midtown branch, we wanted to have
a piece of history as part of the bank. So we
installed a 250-year-old antique oak floor. The
wood used for the floor was growing in America
before George Washington was President. The timber
was harvested and milled in the 1800’s.
The milled lumber was used to build barns throughout
Georgia during that time period.
In the early part of the 21st
Century, the old barns were taken down and the
wood from the barns recycled. Hammonds, the company
that installed our floor hand selected and prepared
each board for installation. |
