National City Bank Branch Bank Buildings The Independence Branch was designed in a Colonial-Georgian style to meet the design guidelines established for this neighborhood. The 5,200 square foot building has a two-story portion which houses mechanical equipment, staff lounge and storage area.     The Shaker Towne Centre branch bank reflects the style of the adjacent shopping center and recalls the classical elegance of the Shaker Heights City Hall across the street. HGF creatively combined cast-stone panels, brown-blend brick masonry and exterior finish system to respond to this context..     The Bainbridge branch bank is divided into two halves separated by a grand, central lobby. The exterior of the building was designed in a conventionally Western Reserve style with an effort to incorporate high quality materials and details such as copper roofing and precast concrete masonry detailing
