History

Old National Bank began opening a branch in Preston Pointe in October 2004, marking the building's first commercial presence. [6] [7] On April 10, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at the bank by a former employee, [8] prompting Old National Bank to close the location and relocate to 400 W. Market. [9]

Awards

The Kentucky Society of Architects American Institute of Architects (AIA) awarded Preston Pointe the Citation for Excellence in Architectural Design in 2007, with the jury commenting: "This building’s bold, iconic design creates a landmark statement, and as a consequence, brings new vitality and interest to an older urban neighborhood."
