Designed as a community front porch, the courtyard at Liberty Bank Building stores rainwater and provides residents with a relaxing way to come and go each day. It’s an opportunity to celebrate the site as home of the first black-owned bank west of the Mississippi, opened in 1968. The “history” portal marks the point of entry, built with bricks and safety-deposit box number plates that were salvaged from the original bank building. Drum-shaped benches by artist Esther Ervin are inspired by the significance of drums in African culture, often used in weddings, funerals and other special events. 📷: @k7scott
