In 1922 the Sanborn Insurance Map company listed this as the Enterprise National Bank building. The survey team in 1979 recorded this location as having housed the Old Palmetto Bank at 111 E. Laurens Street.
The bank was originally started by Charles Houston Roper and Nathaniel B. Dial, who served as the first bank President. Dial later became a U.S. Senator at which time, Mr. Roper took over the bank’s management.
