IMAGES OF OUR PAST - "PLUS CA CHANGE, PLUS C'EST LA MEME CHOSE" DOWNTOWN DUBLIN'S NEWEST BANK STANDS IN PLACE OF DOWNTOWN DUBLIN'S FIRST BANK

In 1848, the French philosopher, Les Guepes, wrote, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" usually translated as "the more things change, the more they stay the same," (Les Guêpes, July 1848).

In 1898, the Dublin Banking Company opened the first permanent bank in downtown Dublin in the front right corner of the 1st floor of the Henry Building at the corner of West Jackson Street and North Jefferson Street.

On November 18, 2019, downtown Dublin's newest bank, The Citizens Bank of Laurens County opened its doors for business.

Les Guepes was right.
