The First National Bank in New Roads, Louisiana is a two-story Classical Revival-style brick building. It was built in 1909 as the new headquarters building of the First National Bank of New Roads, which had been opened in 1905. It costs $7,200 to build and is the only highly styled building in New Roads.^[2]

The bank failed in 1912 and the building was occupied by the Bank of New Roads, a competitor. It was used as a jewelry store from 1928 to 1998.^[2] Starting in 1934, jeweler Oscar Hebert allowed a rear first-floor room to serve as a community library.^[2]
