Keystone National Bank Design Debated
Keystone Bank Restoration Update
Current plans for the restoration of the former Keystone Bank building’s Chestnut Street facade have proven contentious. Architect JKR Partners has proposed a two-story glass box to replace the current Valu-Plus storefront. Some feel the new design is an exciting contemporary intervention and a necessary component of the building’s successful rehabilitation, while others contend that it is an incompatible distraction and a lost opportunity for an historically accurate reconstruction of one of the city’s most significant buildings.
