SUMMARY
Clintonville Federal Savings and Loan Association
60 10th Street, Clintonville, Waupaca County
Date of Construction: 1965
Architect: Quentin Hoffman

The Clintonville Federal Savings and Loan Association is significant for its architecture as an outstanding and example of the Contemporary style. The building is asymmetrical and horizontal in character exhibiting a flat roof with wide eaves. Additionally, its use of glass, expressed with its floor-to-ceiling windows, and more than one type of building material, in the form of fieldstone-veneer and concrete, are characteristics commonly associated with mid-twentieth-century Contemporary architecture.

Designed by Green Bay architect, Quentin Hofman and built in 1965, the Clintonville Federal Savings and Loan Association is also specifically representative of the Contemporary style as applied to a mid-twentieth-century financial institution. Seeking to project a more accessible image during the period of prosperity following World War II, many banks and savings and loans utilized glass window walls in their design similar to a retail store. On their interiors, these institutions favored open floor plans, sweeping staircases with open treads, and prominently displayed vaults; all design elements that were incorporated in the subject building. As well, by 1960, financial institutions began embracing unique building shapes in the design of their buildings, which is reflected in the composition of the Clintonville Federal Savings and Loan Association with its intersecting circular sections within an overall circular form.

Although subject to a series of mergers and acquisitions beginning in the early 1980s, the Clintonville Federal Savings and Loan Association building served as a financial institution throughout its history prior to closing in 2022. As a result of this consistent and continuous use, the building possesses a high degree of integrity with its original massing and materials intact.
