History
1
An old Presbyterian church stood on this site until General J.O. Amos purchased and demolished it in 1892. He then built a three-story structure to house the Sidney Daily News and Shelby County Democrat newspapers, which remained there until relocating to Vandemark Road in 1975. The First National Exchange Bank bought the property, removed the Amos building, and built its present home in 1976. Sculptures on the façade, created by sculptor Robert Koepnick and cast in Sidney, were commissioned by local historian William A. Ross, Jr., and their symbols represent important landmarks and ideals of county history. The building is now home to US Bank.
