Project

The Bankstar Financial Elkton Branch stands as a thoughtful blend of modern functionality and historical preservation. After the original bank building was deemed unsafe and unrestorable due to the 2022 derecho, the 4,200-square-foot main level (including a full basement) was constructed. In a nod to the past, the new design incorporates several key historical elements from the previous structure. Among these are the original bank vault door, which remains a centerpiece, a safety deposit box accent wall, and the creative reuse of the original front door, repurposed as an interior barn door. These thoughtful touches provide a connection to the bank’s rich history while offering a modern, safe, and functional space for today’s customers.
