William J. McAlpine built Dixon's first “skyscraper” at 101-103 West First Street for occupancy by Dixon National Bank in 1914. During the Depression, board member Charles Walgreen personally guaranteed all deposits with no loan foreclosures. In 1992, the Lovett Family sold Dixon National to Amcore, which was later acquired by Midland States.
