Timmerman Building – Andalusia First National Bank 5×7 Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale
This greeting card features a depiction of what was known as the Timmerman Building when my mother was growing up in Andalusia. It started life as the First National Bank building, but despite the name she knew it by is how I’ve come to know it. This piece of historic Andalusia with its trademark clock was a crumbling landmark much of my life, a shadow of the building my mother knew.
So I was thrilled to read when the city purchased it with plans not to demolish it but to renovate it as part of their continuing (and I would say successful) effort to revitalize the core of historic Andalusia. I see so many towns and small cities with crumbling downtown districts that it’s a pleasure to see the ones who are trying to make old structures work in a changing world. That article was what originally prompted me to do the artwork on this Andalusia First National Bank greeting card. I wanted this piece to have a sense of history, and perhaps, for a change, not just a sense of what it was like back when but what it may be like again.
Do you have a connection with the old Timmerman Building? Perhaps family members once worked in the First National Bank Building? Or you simply love heritage architecture or historic Andalusia? I would love to know what brought you to the image on this Andalusia greeting card and hope you will take a few moments from your day to share your thoughts or questions.
Note: The First National Bank Building is on the US National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by architect Frank Lockwood who also designed the Andalusia courthouse.
