Additional Comments
BRICK ENTABLATURE. 4 BRICK PIERS W/STONE COURSES.

August 2013: new shop windows.

August 2019: Appearance unchanged.

"The most austere of Main Street's Neo-Classical (Classical Revival) buildings, the Citizens State Bank (C. 1906-07) is dominated by a massive entablature supported by four colossal brick piers. The piers, which are spaced between broad and deep-set windows, are ornamented with stone banding and stone capitals. The entablature features a brick frieze, stone dentils, and a projecting cornice. Despite its massive character, the bank shares the same scale and preference for cream brick seen in other commercial buildings in this part of Main Street." Rebecca Sample Bernstein for the City of Stoughton Landmarks Commission and Downtown Revitalization Association, Historic Main Street: An Architectural & Historical Guide to Downtown Stoughton, 1991.
