The State Bank
Image
View from across street towards the State Bank at 7-9 S. Pinckney and Washington Avenue. There is an automobile and a pickup truck parked in front of the bank. To the right is an outlet store. To the left of the bank, a building has been taken down, and a crane is parked on the site. In the far background is what may be the water tower at the top of East Washington Avenue, the top visible above the roof of the bank. There is construction equipment on the top of the water tower.
