Terra Alta Bank


Terra Alta Bank, also known as The History House, is a historic bank building located at Terra Alta, Preston County, West Virginia. It was built in 1893, and is a three-story, six bay wide brick Italianate style commercial building. It has a cast iron storefront on the first floor of the main facade and metal window surrounds on the upper floors. The roof line of the building has a decorative bracketed cast iron cornice on three sides. The bank occupied the building until 1991, after which it was partly occupied by a local historical society.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
