This sure is a unique residence! Love the hand painted murals! This was the Bank of Amherst and was built in 1920. It is located on .13 acres in Amherst, Virginia. There are 12 and 15 foot ceilings on the main floor. Looks like there are two operating safes in the structure. Definitely a one of a kind property. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,408 square feet. $260,000

From the Zillow listing:

 

Unique opportunity for a one of a kind residence in the town of Amherst. Incredible architectural detail. Originally built around 1920 as The bank of Amherst, this property also served for 50+ years as the Town Municipal offices. For the past several years it has been an art gallery with the additions of beautiful murals and frescoes throughout. There are operating 6′ x 12′ concrete safes. There is a galley type kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a recently added full bath and renovated half bath. It a perfect for a combination commercial and residential space if you desire. 12 and 15 foot ceilings on the main floor. Surely one-of-a kind.
