Became People's State Bank in 1918.
2013 New Holstein Survey results:
Although utilized mostly for banking, the north portion of the building originally served as the offices of H.C. Timm. The structure has come full circle and is utilized as the offices of the Calumet Feed & Supply Company.
Bibliographic References:Short piece on the bank in "New Holstein: Land of Peace and Plenty," (1915), page 22, historic image on page 23. “People’s State Bank Now Being Organized,” Calumet County Reporter, 26 October 1917, 1/3-5; “State Bank of New Holstein,” Calumet County Reporter, 4 January 1918, 1/7; “People’s State Bank Opens Today,” Calumet County Reporter, 4 January 1918, 1/1. A historic postcard view of the building indicates that the Timm office to the north had a separate entry; however, when the bank’s business required additional lobby space (prior to 1915), the second entrance was removed. Historic postcard view of bank and grain elevators, undated; however, likely circa 1910.
