Independence Bank, Owensboro (KY), Uses Belden Brick’s Kingsport 8X

 

The newest location of Independence Bank, in Owensboro (KY) recently opened and immediately became one of the focal points of Frederica Street.

Cullignon & Nunley Architects, along with Rusher Construction Co . serving as general contractor and L.A. Buford Masonry, all of Owensboro, all did their jobs well on this project.

 

With beautiful detail work that was enabled by the craftsmen at Belden Brick firing these great watertable stretcher and corner brick that you see in the photos above and below, it’s no wonder that L.A. Buford Masonry was able to use the Belden Kingsport 8X to create a beautiful brick veneer.
