These two buildings were the original structures of the Deposit Bank of Vanceburg and the New York Racket Store. The bank was established about 1889, and its freestone building was erected in 1900. The bank later merged with the Citizens Bank to become the Citizens-Deposit Bank. The corner building is notable as one of the first types of iron-framed buildings and was built about 1900, with moldings of an interesting style. Moses Marcus came from Cincinnati before 1905 and opened a stylish men’s clothing store called the New York Racket Store.
