Built in 1970 in Martinsburg, West Virginia, the Citizens National Bank building is a modernist structure with brutalist references that deliberately departed from local architectural tradition. Conceived as a catalyst for downtown revitalization and promoted as "a new beginning for future development of downtown Martinsburg," the building exemplified the brutalist design trends then current. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it stands as a notable example of late-twentieth-century commercial architecture in the region.
