The Raleigh Banking and Trust Company Building, also known as the Raleigh Building, is a historic bank office building located on West Hargett Street in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is an eleven-story skyscraper designed in the Classical Revival style, featuring a steel frame and brick veneer with white terra cotta ornamental elements.
The building was constructed in stages. The first three stories were built in 1913, and the upper eight stories were added between 1928 and 1929. The structure is seven bays wide and three bays deep.
In 1935–1936, the first three floors underwent a radical renovation. During this period, Art Moderne design elements were added to the building. The Raleigh Banking and Trust Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
