Farmers State Bank

The Denver architect of the county courthouse also created this classically derived, single-story building of buff Indiana limestone in smooth ashlar blocks. The little-altered bank combines a vertical Art Deco feeling with horizontal zigzag banding above windows. Both street elevations have slightly protruding central bays with modest raised parapets and dentiled cornices. On the narrow west facade, double doors are recessed between flat, fluted pilasters with plain plinths and stylized capitals, and the entry and window transoms feature carved floral patterns. Art Deco facades also grace the Municipal Fire and Police Building (1937, Walter H. Simon), 120 Main Street; the Club Tap Room (1930), 212–214 Main Street; and the Stapleton Building (1930s), 316 Main Street.
