This view shows the First National Bank in Barnegat, New Jersey, a small community in Ocean County on the shore of Barnegat Bay. The caption card gives no date, so the photograph is best understood through its subject rather than a specific year. Nationally chartered banks like this one, which operated under the federal system created in the 1860s, often occupied prominent corners in towns of this size. Their exteriors were meant to signal permanence and trustworthiness to depositors, so the building itself was part of the business.
