| Additional Information: | According to assessor records, the BMO Harris Bank was constructed in 1962 at the southeast corner of Horicon and South John Streets in a Contemporary commercial style. The bank is rectangular in plan with brick veneered walls and a flat roof. Above the principal roofline, a smaller flat roofed mass is set back slightly from all elevations. The roof edges are lined with coursed metal sheeting. The principal elevation faces north onto Horicon Street featuring patterned brick work with aligned seams. Large plate glass windows are set in a metal frame extending from floor to ceiling. At the northeast corner of the bank, a flat roofed canopy is supported on a concrete cylindrical post and shades the entrance and large plate glass windows set in metal framing. Along the east elevation, the brick work as alternation seams and is patterned with single bricks projecting slightly at regular intervals. The bank is in good condition with a fairly high degree of integrity. It retains the brick work-with parallel-seams-that was commonly used in midcentury commercial architecture as well as the flat roof articulated with metal sheeting. However, as a Contemporary bank building, the BMO Harris Bank at 209 Horicon Street is overall lacking in architetural interest and is not the best example of the institution of this style. The property was not previously surveyed. A new inventory record was created for it. |
