NOTES
Additional Information:Fireprrof construction with stone veneer; two-story monumental bank with two Doric columns in antis, entablature decorated with guttae blocks; north side rebuilt of cream brick in 1969, south side features three monumental blind arches between fluted pilasters; small one-story stone addition to north. Although the 1969 addition is compatible with the 1922 bank in materials and style, it is considered non-contributing because of its recent date. The original building on this site was the Rock River tavern. For history of bank, see 97 N. Main St.
