Mutual Building & Loan

North Platte established the Mutual Building and Loan Association in 1887, led by many prominent leaders and helping the average citizen afford a home. By 1914, the Mutual Building and Loan Association had grown enough to require a more permanent location, and a new building was constructed at the corner of Locust Street and 5th Street because of its proximity to the Federal Building and the Lincoln County Courthouse. The 40-foot by 80-foot structure had two stories and a finished basement and was built in the most up-to-date fashion, with electricity, telephone wires, steam heat, and modern design. It housed many offices, including doctors, lawyers, and a print shop, until the Mutual Savings and Loan Association moved to a new location in 1963.
