No Destination: Nat’l Bank of Cynthiana

Adaptive Reuse in Cynthiana, Ky.

For my regular readers, you know I love historic preservation. A key part of preservation is adaptive reuse, which simply means utilizing existing structures for purposes other than those which were originally intended. Although some historic significance is lost, often the historic streetscape is not disturbed.

A great example of adaptive reuse in Cynthiana is the old National Bank of Cynthiana which today houses a diner smartly named “The Vault” as well as the visitor’s center.
