History

The building was built by the Union Banking Company, but it closed in 1930, along with many other banks. The Coffee County Bank was started in 1931 and used the building, which it later bought. It is now a BB&T but they will vacate the property moving down the street to their other location in February 2016. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on December 10, 1982.^[2] It is also a contributing building to the 1993 NRHP Downtown Douglas Historic District.
