National Valley Bank, also known as United Virginia Bank, is a historic bank building located in Staunton, Virginia. It was built in 1903 and is a one-story, three-bay, Beaux Arts-style building constructed of granite, brick and carved limestone. Its design was based on the Roman Arch of Titus. It features semi-engaged, fluted columns of the Corinthian order flanking the central entrance. The interior features a coffered plaster ceiling. General John Echols (1823-1896) founded the bank in 1865 and served as its first president. His son Edward Echols, who built Oakdene, served as the National Valley Bank's third president from 1905–1915.{{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Cities/Staunton/132-0023_National_Valley_Bank_1979_Final_Nomination.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: National Valley Bank |author=William T.
