The building was constructed in 1923. The facade is eclectic, showing Second Renaissance Revival elements at the first two floors and utilitarian features above, and the building includes a modest, classical cornice.
Designed by George W. Kelham in 1922,[2] the building was constructed on the former site of the National Bank of the Republic after a merger of banks controlled by James E. Cosgriff.[3] After Cosgriff's death in 1938, his son, Walter E. Cosgriff, eventually became president of the bank.[4][5] The building became home to Kimpton Hotel Monaco in 1999.[6]
The Continental Bank Building was added to the NRHP December 27, 1982.[5]
