Citizens Savings Bank is a full service banking institution committed to growth
and technology, yet still providing the personal touch of a “hometown
bank.” DonahueFavret Contractors was contracted to construct the bank's
corporate headquarters, architecturally designed to be a replica of the distinguished
Madewood Plantation in Napoleonville, Louisiana. The exterior finishes of
traditional cement plaster over metal lath and 27 foot wood columns featuring
a brick paved balcony and 8 foot French doors create an almost exact copy
of the 19th century mansion.
Inside, brick and marble floors, teller counters, ornate
wall coverings and custom millwork complete the luxurious
lobby. The boardroom features tide water cypress walls and
antique pine floors. The bank was designed to include two
fireproof record vaults as well as a solid concrete safety
deposit and cash vault. The building also includes five drive-thru
teller lanes. The beauty and design of this location on Highway
21 is truly a landmark in the Bogalusa community.
