Colonial National Bank, also known as Colonial American National Bank-Colonial Arms, is a historic bank and office building located at Roanoke, Virginia. It was built in 1926-1927, and is a 12-story, granite and gray-enamel brick building in the Neoclassical style. The base is formed by the first three stories of regular granite ashlar; the shaft is formed by the next seven stories of unornamented gray-enamel brick; and the capital is formed by the last two stories which are ornamented. The building has a three-story annex built in two stages in 1949 and 1959. The building was Roanoke's tallest building for nearly fifty years.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
