The Bank of everglades building, built in 1927

The First Bank in Collier County

     The Bank of the Everglades moved into the Bank of Everglades Building in 1927.  Barron Gift Collier had the building built so that the County's first bank would leave an impression on all those who conducted business in the area.

     ESHP has obtained the bank as a donation.  After years of neglect, a hurricane and a flood, the building is in disrepair.  However, a comprehensive structural analysis has determined that the building can be saved, and we are moving forward with plans to bring the building back so that future generations can enjoy this beautiful structure..
