Title
C&S Bank Photograph Collection
Description
Citizen and Southern Bank, known as C&S Bank, was founded on July 28, 1871 as the First National Bank of Newnan with W.B. Berry as President. The First National Bank absorbed Newnan and Trust Bank in December 1930, which had failed during the Great Depression. After several other bank consolidations, the bank was renamed Citizen and Southern Bank on February 28, 1955. The C&S Bank Newnan branch moved to its location on the corner of Greenville Street and Spring Street in 1957 where it remained until it closed in the late 1990's. A Second location was obtained on Bullsboro Boulevard. The majority of the photographs in this collection were taken at this location.
