AmSouth Bank expands to Riverside


AmSouth Bank plans to open 54 new branch offices this year and one of them will be in right here in Five Points. The two-story brick house at the corner of Margaret and Herschel Streets should be open for business this July.

The new branch will also retain its historical look. The all-brick building will remain virtually intact externally. The biggest change will be the addition of a drive through that will run behind the building. Franz said AmSouth understands the parking issues in Riverside, but assures that there will be enough parking for employees and customers.

Franz said local AmSouth President Marty Lanahan is big on historical preservation and has every intention to keeping the building’s look, which is not that of a typical bank. The downtown AmSouth branch is at the corner of Laura and Bay and is also in a non-traditional bank building.
