Christian F. Enslen, 1830-1915. German emigrant, later planter and merchant, founder of the Jefferson County Savings Bank.
The Jefferson County Bank Building was constructed in 1884 as the home of the Jefferson County Savings Bank on the southeast corner of 2nd Avenue North and 21st Street. The four-story building was commissioned by the bank's owner, Christian Enslen and executed in a heavily-ornamented French style with a mansard roof above a deep bracketed cornice. The ground floor was brick with thick pilasters and a prominent corner entrance. The upper floors had projecting arches and deep-set double-hung windows. The attic story was marked by arched dormers and an ornamented ridge.
Enslen retired in 1911 and left the bank to his son, Eugene, who immediately began planning for a monumental new bank building. He commissioned the 25-story Jefferson County Savings Bank building which became the tallest building in the south when it was completed in 1913.
