History and description The Egg Harbor Commercial Bank was founded in 1888 by German-American members of the board of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad. The bank building was constructed in two stages. In the first, a two-story brick building was built in 1896. A granite portico and vestibule were added to the front between 1908 and 1917. The second stage, completed by 1924, moved the original two-story section back and built a new one-story brick section between the portico and the old section. The new section featured Classical Revival architecture. It later served as the city hall of Egg Harbor City from 1954 to 1978.
