Bank Of South Miami Now First Bank and Trust
The Bank of South Miami is currently undergoing a half-million dollar expansion of its physical plant. Additionally, new facilities are being added steadily, with a modern and complete trust department being the latest. In order to reflect the new service, R. C. Nahm, executive vice president, announced that the bank is changing its name. Henceforth, the institution will be known as the First Bank and Trust Company of South Miami. Nahm also disclosed that the new trust department — the only one in South Dade — will be headed up by George L. Mendes Jr. as vice president with wide experience in the trust field, who said trust accounts already total nearly $4 million. The bank — located in the triangle formed by U.S. 1, Red Road and Sunset Drive — is celebrating its eighth birthday anniversary, and the expansion program is a part of the observance. From its inception in 1952, the First Bank and Trusts Company of South Miami has grown from a $3 million to a $22 million institution. The addition to the physical plant will double the size and facilities of the bank. Architects Connell, Pierce, Garland and Friedman of Miami designed the new facilities. They include a lobby four times the size of the present one; a two-story drive-in teller wing, and a block-long parking plaza that will accomodate more than 1000 cars a day. Completion of construction — being done by the James Thompson Construction Co. — is scheduled for Jan. 1, Nahm said. This marks the fourth expansion of the bank since its opening eight years ago. Nahm said savings accounts have increased from 1000 in 1952 to 5000 in 1960; special checking accounts have risen from zero to 5000, and regular accounts now total 7,500.
Bank Names Peacock
