Historical site

Designed by architects William G. Purcell and George G. Elmslie, this building stands as a historic symbol of the Prairie School style of architecture. Built in 1910, it captures many of the artistic and structural design characteristics of their endeavors. The terra-cotta and mosaic ornamentation express Elmslie's work, while the strong rectangular look represents Purcell's design. Their partnership began in 1909, and this bank building was the first design by the firm to be erected. A restoration project was carried out in 1973–1974 by Danielson Bros, Builders.
